laptop fault
 

Hi everyone,

hope i have posted in the right place

basically my laptop isnt starting up today and keeps restarting itself but comes up with a message saying it had to protect my files so i might have shut off the laptop and now seems to be a software fault so any chance i can get this up and running like before?

Mas

right... after the boot screen but before the windows loading screen... keep pressing F8... then select safe mode, do a quick virus scan in safe mode if possible... then restart and try again in normal mode...

if not post here... ill help out with other methods :D

I tried that mate but it wont let me go threw safe mode or normal mode i will post up in a bit what it exactly says

right ok mate :D

easy fix reformat and re install windows. do you have recovery disc or anything?

depends on if they lad wants to keep any data mate... will it boot into windows at all?

if all else fails. download a ubuntu live CD and you should be able to start up from that. also you should be able to access your hard drive contants.

sound like a backdoor w32 worm i had similar symptoms before .. kept restarting,, its a pain..

how far does it get before it restarts? you could try disabling automatic restart.... on the F8 menu... it would then usally display an error message rather than just restartin....

No mate dont have the disc and at the same time i dont want to reinstall anything as i know i will lose everything that is the main problem

best thing to do, post a video if u can of what happens after start up. That way we can see whats going on

throw it in a bin :)
