I have a problem with my laptop, anytime am using my system, after 30 minutes it just trips off and turns it self on, sometimes at night or any time am not using it it turns it self on automatically, this constant problem has led to several crashing of my windows. My brain is telling me that it might be a power issue

Good day gurus.. I just notice this in my laptop since yesterday. Anytime I switched off when it was not plugged in... The battery would automatically drain even if it was 99% when I switch it off, the worst thing is even if I switch off for 1min pere.. It automatically drains and won't on again till I plug it, and it will start at 0%.

What might be the issue

Try another battery first... If the issue persists, see a technician...

Hi.
It's pretty much the same process.

The difference however is that instead of using Windows 7 installation media, you'll be using Windows 10 installation media.

*Cheers*

If you however feel a bit shaky, watch someone do it in your presence. Tons of videos available on YouTube as well.

Ok ok ok...

On a lighter note:

This is sounding like some spooky Hollywood scene already... grin grin
Like, the laptop comes in by itself? In the night?.. What else does it do?

On a Serious note:

Nothing spooky actually.
CMOS battery is a major culprit here. Start by changing it.

*Cheers*

Dell Inspiron 6000

You need to install the required drivers in compatibility mode

However, the laptop is pretty old model. Hence the highest OS it can take should be win 7. Not win 8 or win 10. Please.


Go here:

https://www.dell.com/support/home/ng/en/ngbsdt1/product-support/product/inspiron-6000/drivers

Once in the page, you are to download the 2200BG/2915ABG drivers.

Download-unzip, then install.

That's it!!

Cheers**

grin by the way I've decided to include a picture of the PC...emmm for nostalgic purposes only

Hi.

Why burn tons of data?

You could easily give it to a technician who has the Win7 SP1 installation media. He will also install the required drivers.

You need to drive the display adapter before you can see the sleep option.

Hello.

*RAM upgrade*
Up the RAM to 4GB. Usually an increase in RAM makes up for certain lags.

*Defragment*
Your PC may be having a hard time trying to access files because they're broken and scattered in several locations on the hard disk. This could make your system run slow.

Defragmentation could be one more way to speed up computer operations.


defragmentation is a process where you pull up those files together in a sing spot making hem faster to access

If you're on win 7 (same as win 10, slight variations though)

Right Click on the ":C" drive > Properties

click on tools > "Defragment now"

The disk defragmenter window opens > Click on "analyse disk" button then > this generates how fragmented the disk is in percentages >

Click the defragment button.



Stil same problem

How much does it cost to upgrade the ram from 2gb to 8gb

I am sure that you don't have a password reset disk. So this is what you'll do buy a windows installation disc any version of your choice, it shouldn't be more than 500 Naira. Then boot from disc you do this by pressing F9 key when your computer turns on or hit esc key then go to boot menu and place boot from DVD on top and save. If done correctly the windows disc should load then follow the instructions

This is definitely a motherboard issue, see a technician.
Hello bro, it turned out that it was one of the RAMs that got bad. I've replaced it and the system is working fine atleast for now.
Thanks so much.

Evening guys, I was using my laptop today on battery. Then I noticed smoke coming out of the laptop. I checked under the laptop and I saw something like Fire. I removed the battery immediately.
After 30 minutes I decided to open the laptop. This is what I found. What can I do

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by IKON360(m): 8:50pm On Nov 25, 2018
bosses good evening, when I switch on my laptop, it will either make one "pim" sound, show lines on the screen but won't boot. Other times it will just show a black screen and nothing else, yesterday it showed the windows loading screen for over 20 minutes. That lines on the screen issue started last week, just show many lines but it won't boot. The screen is good o. But please what could cause this problem?
