Hi all,
Few days ago i had problems with my laptop eg: frequent crashes, laptop VERY VERY VERY slow, slow to the point that the HDD light wouldn't stop being on for 20 mins (showing that the HDD is busy loading or doing something) and every time i would want to watch a video clip, go on a website, the HDD would work too hard.
So i decided to use my system restore CD to clean out my laptop, it got to the progress bar where it shows you the progress of the system restore, it didn't get far, got to "Loading NTFS table" and the HDD light would be green for 30 mins, it didn't even stop once to blink, it just stayed green. Well... suddenly my laptop switched itself off because it overheated.
I powered it back up again and the hard drive didn't respond, not even blink once green when i pressed the power on button. Nothing shows up on the screen either, it's just black and i cannot hear the hard drive spinning. I swapped the hard drive for a completely new one and still the same thing happens.
My guess is maybe because the operating system of Windows XP is wiped out from the system so it can't start up on anything?
Regards
