Lappie Hang
-
Lately whenever I turn on my lappie in the morning, it will hang.
I will then press ctrl alt delete to call for task manager to close programmes
but the task manager sometimes will not appear
if it appears I will try to shut down and restart again
sometimes i need to restart a couple of times before the lappie will work properly again
why is this so? -
Standby for complete hdd failure.

Very easy to check. Turn on laptop, don't care if it hangs or not.Originally posted by TehJarVu:i dunno if the laptop fan still working

At the side, there are some holes. That's for the laptop air ventilation. Do you feel any air coming out?
If no, then that's your answer. Call up IBM and ask them to repair (if your warranty still stands...) -
Snoppy ar... your email clients uses the hard disk...Originally posted by TehJarVu:surfing also need hdd meh?
Internet Explorer/Firefox or whatever browser you use uses the hard disk... -

When you boot up your laptop. HDD works the hardest.Originally posted by TehJarVu:surfing also need hdd meh?
At the certain point of your Hard Disk is faulty which is why when you reach your OS startup/program loading. It freezes.
Apart from surfing, your Laptop OS needs to load those programs which you've installed. And it takes the HDD and RAM to function hard.
So it is likely your HDD.
Otherwise, might be fan not working. Overheat.
When there's no sound of the fan, you know lah.
You may try starting up in Safe mode with Network.
If the same thing happens. Quickly get a new HDD. -

Hmm... looks like fan is going down soon. You could buy a cooler pad to temporary cool it down, but it won't be a permanent solution because your fan will go kaput any time.Originally posted by TehJarVu:my warranty just expired on 22 march

Once it does, I can't guarantee what will happen to your hardware... -
Bring it to IBM and get the fan changed!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Hmm... looks like fan is going down soon. You could buy a cooler pad to temporary cool it down, but it won't be a permanent solution because your fan will go kaput any time.

There's no guarantee if the fan is fix your problems will go away. It might not even be related. Get the fan fixed first, and see what happens. -
