Probably full of internet crap that gets on there from time to time. If you have had it for a while this is common. Purely software so easy to fix and don't put it near the tip!!

I normally do this for mates etc fo £30 but PC worl etc will charge £80 upwards. If I can help with advice let me know or if you live anywhere near Northwich I could sort it for £30!

MY email adress is twhuk1978@yahoo.co.uk

Re: Laptop help

Are you sure about the power? Laptop batteries don't last forever, you might need a new one. I doubt a few seconds is long enough for it to overheat, turning it off, unless it senses that the fan isn't working and switches off automatically.

Alternatively, it could just be fucked, i don't really know what i'm talking about.

It could be one of the following problems:
A) He's downloaded music and unwittingly installed a virus - solution is get a free antivirus (<a class="postlink" href="http://free.avg.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" target="_blank">http://free.avg.com</a> or <a class="postlink" href="http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" target="_blank">http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html</a>) and run a full system virus scan or reinstall Windows;
B) The system's overheating - let it cool down for a while
C) The Windows Installation's fucked. Reinstall it from a system recovery disc which presumably came with the laptop.
