Possibly overheating.

Ensure that the vents are not blocked in any manner.

If there's a fan, it could be broken or clogged-up with dust.

It could also be an issue with heat conduction (heat sink).

You may want to consult an engineer near you.

bigneorapz:

I gave it for repairs in the end. I was chaged just N1,500 so i believe it is a problem anybody can solve. And the guy refused to even tell me how he fixed it

BetaTechnicians:

I'm sorry but your approach is really odd, best practices in troubleshooting is to undo the last action and in this case it's an hardware upgrade which can easily be reversed and the situation re-accessed. Even if you any OEM customer support today, that's what you'll be told.
and yes, a bad ram may still boot a computer but would affect functionality a great deal, but while that hasn't been ascertained in this case, it's the best place to start troubleshooting from.

and
there's nothing wrong with the method used by shawlxAk i.e. asking series of questions, because this is a remote support so the person at the other end has to provide sufficient information before you can make an inference.

So u understand beta-to undo a last action means ur forfeiting the need to know knowledge of wat actually happened which can be used effectively for future actions.in fact it helps u understand the problem beta so u don't start asking redundant questions..from my experience and his dialogue-I knew ram was the least problem..so troubleshooting doesn't have to start from there...
As for his ram suggestion-point noted and not a likely cause in this situation.
I'm not against his method but I tink part of our job is to deploy beta and effective ways to help pple...threads are easier to follow wen short and in a piece..he could equally adopt my strategy of asking them to call in more sensitive and severe situations..in truth,I'm a busy person and that the only way to keep up with me..I'm most cases,I arrange a teamviewer session to diagnose the problem myself instead of asking the plenty questions-posters can be misleading Atimes..I waited for the right moment to interfere...I still tink it's wrong to ask them to open up the ram..in case he doesnt know,the poster may fry up his motherboard by just conducting static electricity from his body

shawlxAk:
Oga, now it's very obvious that you know absolutely nothing about real tech support. You're just a wanna-be, looking for some quick petty cash here and there.

I don't ask questions because I'm itching to chat. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I ask questions because I'm trying to understand the problem better.

Perhaps you think that I'm just a road-side technician?

For your information, I'm a trained Systems Engineer(Prof. Diploma) and Information Technologist(BSc).

Try not to attack me ever again. I'm not your average tech guy.

No need to be complexed my guy..I meant no harm and this is no contest...u Neva see battle,u dey draw up ur arsenal(pro diploma and infor tech(bsc) only..)those were achievements for me wen I was just 17-18yrs old...
As for ur chat passion,bro u can just ask them to call u or see things for urself by organizing a teamviewer session..I get calls regularly from pple who ain't even from NAIRAland cuz my number pops up everytime they search google for answers...
We are on the same side with same interests,goals but our methods may differ..2create change,u must be willing to provoke thot and conversation..
As for the petty cash-I leave that to ur discretion..u can google up gbenga odusina

Psalm351:
Thanks for you kind views. I thought the same about the RAM. Please, how do I get a registry cleaner?

Psalms351, because of you, these two gentlemen were giving two ways to solve your RAM problem. We will like you to open up and tell us what finally solve your RAM problem, so that people can learn from it.

Oga, we are not on the same side. No sir, we do not share common goals/interests.

And I just Googled you. Please tell me what I'm supposed to look out for again -- as I don't see anything about you that's worth reading on Google.

Perhaps, I don't know how to Google properly. Please, anybody else reading this, help me Google him and tell us what spectacular thing you find.

Why must I ask them to call me when I can easily tell them what they need to know online? I provide free online helpdesk services and if anybody feels like contacting me, my details are available on my profile.

If all the tech guys here start asking everybody to call, what do you think will happen?

I didn't even ask anybody not to call anyone. I simply tried to help as much as I could.

I beg you, just stop because you seem to embarrass yourself further with each response. If you're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed on your behalf.


This will be my final response to you.

Where exactly did the water get into. What's the make and model of the laptop?

oh! it was from the keyboard and it compac windows Vista.

shawlxAk:
The error message is quite clear. It's either a loose/broken connection or a dead hard drive.

Edit: when you went into the BIOS, was the HDD listed?

If it's not listed in the BIOS, try detaching the HDD and reattaching it firmly.

Same problem?

Try connecting it with another set of cables.

If it doesn't work, it's most likely dead.

I can confirm the HDD Is dead! I did as you highlighted but nothing; HDD not seen in BIOS. I did an extensive check on HDD too but returned SMART CHECK N LONG DST as NOT INSTALLED; an HDD swap was done & d HDD is question was not recognised in d new system while d other HDD booted without hassle!

sameolg616: refer to d pics as directed by you.


@all techies: Please, which brand of HDD would you recommend?

judging by the screenshots...mr shawlxak is right
moreso,i can help recover the data(if its not physically damaged) and regenerate it...

shawlxAk:

What error message did you get?

no error just unable to go back to de 64bit dat it came wit

nomehokoy:
oh! it was from the keyboard and it compac windows Vista.

You still haven't clearly stated the make and model of the laptop. E. G. Hp 250, hp 15 notebook d000sia etc

Lmao.

Have you tried a different installation source?

It is not true that you are not getting any error messages. If you did try to install a 64-bit OS on your computer and it didn't run, the installer must have told you why it couldn't proceed.

For example, trying to install a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit machine. Or one or more required files could not be read from the installation source.

To revert to 64-bits, you will have to do a clean install.

Seek help from an Engineer near you.

I guess it shd be ms office 2010 or later...the product key is not present or properly activated..activation by crack on 2010 or later is a process that shd be carefully followed and ur internet must not be ON

when I press Wi-Fi button to on my Wi-Fi not on it.... any help to on it pls

Most likely a rogue process in action. Open Task Manager and examine running processes, sorted by CPU usage.

Follow the guide in the link below. It will be very helpful to you.
