help with my laptop
« on: September 02, 2008, 06:50:25 PM »
Hi, I am looking for help. 2 weeks ago I was streaming movies off the internet, everything went fine, I turned my compute off that night, but next morning it would not startup. When I pressed the power button the computer would start to turn on then after a few seconds it would cut out. After throughly checking my hardware it seemed that the harddrives wasnt kicking in, so I got an old computer from friends for parts and put that harddrive into my computer - no joy. In the end I put my drive into the other computer and it worked well, but the day after I went to start the other computer and again the same thing happened to that computer. I presume I have picked up a virus even though my anti virus was up to date and running both times. Both computers were Dell Laptops. Has anyone got any suggestions plezase?

I don't think it's a virus if the computer cannot turn on.

Any error messages or beeps?

What kind of computer are we dealing with (model number would be nice too)
