sotall: @Sotall Tanx but dats the usual way its done. When I I had Windows 8.1 on the laptop, I was able to change the account picture following this ur method. But now that I've installed Windows 8, when I get to the "personalization" menu and click on account Picture, the "browse" button will not be clickable. It will show, but I cannot click on it to take me to my picture gallery. |

Hello Guys, So my laptop has been extremely slow and almost impossible to use of recent, i have restored it severally to factory settings, yet it still has the same problem. I tried running a disk check, it gets to a certain point and just remains there, i actually left it for like 2 days, yet it didnt progress. I suspect that the hard drive is bad, i just need confirmation from the gurus here. It originally came with windows 7, i upgraded to 8, and 10 respectively over the years (Been using it since 2013). The problem started while i was on windows 10, although i have restored it back to windows 7, all in a bid to fix it. |

Lastking147: Turn on the power and press F11 to run recovery without starting Windows (on some models esc key and then F11 key ). If no joy, please restart the laptop by pressing f10 non stop until you see a bios screen. Use your arrow key to naviagte to diagnostic and run me an hard drive and memory test. Is this windows xp or windows vista ? Do you have an hp recovery disc ? |

Karismatic: next time you power it on, observe if the fan is rolling or not. Also feel the underneath of the laptop with your palm if it is abnormally hot. Do all these before it goes off. Then lemme know your findings. |

Demola99:many things could be responsible . You can try to discharge the motherboard by removing all power sources( battery and charger) Press and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds. replace the battery and power the laptop . Observe if there is any difference. if no difference, contact an engineer near you. if you need an engineer and you are in Lagos, contact 08164685979. 1 Like |

My compaq presario cq61 is running slow, i have no idea what the problem is. It takes a large amount to load apps and file manager. 2G ram Sempron AMD 2.1GHZ HDD 250GB The apps i installed on it are; VLC AVIRA GOOGLE CHROME Please i'd appreciate any valid solution, thanks. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sotall(m): 2:23pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
Gbadegesin19: First defragment your hard drive. On a personal opinion, I advice you uninstall that avira you have on it. That antivirus is probably running tasks in the background when your PC is on. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Nobody: 2:37pm On Jan 20, 2017 |
sotall: Thanks. Question 1. How do i defragment my hardware Question 2. Should i install another antivirus instead and which? thanks. Observation; My system runs fast when it's plug into electricity and turns into a slowpoke after unpluging it. Thanks. |

For everyone that wants to get into the Network Security part of coding I recommend this site, It's really good. It has everything you should know about from "Beginners networking" to "Advanced Penetration Testing". Reverse Engineering of Malware, Web App Pen-testing, Python coding for scripts and exploits, and everything else for both Defensive Security but has a lot of focus on the Offensive part. So for everyone that wants to go for the Certified Ethical Hacker Certification and the Certs above that, check it out! It's the only good network security learning platform that I have found that covers EVERYTHING and IS FREE. And new courses are added all the time. Happy (ETHICAL) Hacking! PS: If anyone knows about other sites with this theme, please let me know about them thanks! EDIT: wow, I didn't think that so many people didn't know about the site XD but to be fair it took me quite a while to discover it too. If you have the time and kindness to PM me your email address, or write it in the comments if you don't care a lot about that email address, I will send you an invite to the site from my cybrary account!
