HELLLLLLLLLLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!!! what can i do?
I have a HiGrade laptop, which is about 6 years old but does everything i need as i don't need all the fancy gadgetry you get on the latest laptops. It's only really used for internet browsing, uploading pics from a camera and putting them on a disc.
Tha other day my girlfriend informed me that it had shut down, for no apparent reason, 3 times in about 20 minutes. I wasn't to worried at the time as i thought it was a simple fix, so today i decided to have a look myself. It switched on, fired up, went onto google and shortly after that shut down. as it shut down a blue screen flashed up but wasn't up long enough to read. I tried again and got the same result but this time it didn't even get as far as the internet. After several attempts to get it up and running i decided it might be best to do a full system factory restore. I've done this before and it always seemed to sort out any little running issues.
Guess what........it wouldn't even let me do the restore. By this point i was ready to put my fist through it and chuck it in the bin, then a voice beside me, my girlfriend, rightly suggested i put something on answerbank to see if any of you whizzkids could help.
the only upside was that the blue screen stayed on long enough for us to take a picture of it, which i'm hoping the link will take you too.
Can anyone tell me what it actually means? Is it worth getting the laptop looked at by PC World or somewhere similar (considering it's age), or should we just cut our loses and maybe get a new one.
Many thanks in advance
