Hello, haven't posted in here for ages...
Last week my laptop wouldn't come out of standby, just a black screen.
I restarted it and windows started to load, got a pointer and the screen went black again.
I tried to re-format but it got stuck at about 52% (keeps doing this). However a quick format works.![Confused :confused: :confused:](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/confused.gif)
It keeps doing it though, as soon as I've installed all the drivers (don't think it's driver related - done the same as always) and try to restart after a few hours I either get:
1. Black screen for desktop
2. Desktop that freezes after 5 secs, then goes black.
3. Bluescreen telling me something has ****** up.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Why does only a quick format work?
The laptop is out of warranty so was hoping someone might be able to offer some advice. Anything I should test?
I'm 99% sure if I turn it off now I'll have to re-format lol!![Frown :( :(](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/frown.gif)
Really, really appreciate any help, ta!
