** Swear words should be fully starred **

So I've not always been too fond of laptops, always preferred my own built rig at home. Bought this laptop around just before xmas last year..which was a mistake.. as the sales went on a month later..*im an idiot*.

Anyhow..I just recently dropped it on its sides by accident whilst it was on and it switched off.
Turned it back on, the asus loading screen etc etc all loaded up..and then its stuck on a blue screen. But the cursor and mousepad still works on the screen..able to move it. But nothing else loads..just stuck

A while ago, I got a recovery window..and I clicked "restart".didnt do anything.

Just now windows fully loaded..any cause to why dropping the laptop would cause the software to not load lol

God, i wished i waited till the sales..this was not worth £400, LAPTOPS SUX :D

Most likely cause is you damaged the hard drive when you dropped it.

Only sure way to know is to run diagnostics on the hard drive, some laptops have a test for that in the BIOS.

If not you can take the drive out and put it in a caddy and run a disktest on it using another pc.
 
Is there a message on the blue screen? Quite likely it's the hard drive or worse case scenario something in the motherboard may have been damaged that prevents the HD from communicating with the machine.
 
Could be that you dislodged the Hard Drive when you dropped it? Just open up the laptop and see if it is out of the connectors. Gently push it back in. Do the same with the ram, see if the clips have opened up.
 
Yeah guys..pretty sure its the hard drive, it has a problem reading windows..but loads it sometimes. Could be just corrupt windows? or do you think the actual drive is damaged and needs replacing
 
Have you looked to see if all in place inside laptop?

Dropping the Laptop wouldn't corrupt the OS.
 
Sounds like the hard drive got damaged when you dropped it. This is usually the way that laptops break when dropped. Replace the hard drive, with an SSD and try not to drop it again. The SSD would probably survive, but the rest of the laptop may not.
 
Yeah sounds like the HDD got shocked, just get a SSD for a increase in speed and don't drop it again. If you do with a SSD in it you shouldn't have this issue again anyway :)
