Yes, but I think the problem is that it may very well have something wrong inside. Check and see if your CPU is fried, if not then check the HDD, and find the source of your problem. Then replace it. I usually go for Desktop Computers, custom made, but laptops, I would probably go with Dell too.

Hey
all might not be lost :)

If you cant fix it

A few years back i bought a little lead from Ebay that plugged into a Laptop Harddrive and plugged into a PC by USB.. So dont throw your Laptop out try and get a lead or a 3.5 External Enclosure which will do the same job..

That doesn't sound good... Well, if you have to re-install maybe you can tell someone who is good with computers to remove your hard disk and insert it into another computer and make a backup, then you wont loose your stuff...
Or if it shows the startup screen then select boot-up in safe mode.

I personally like Dell, i haven't had any problems with them, and maybe HP

Good luck :roll:
My HP crashed my 500gb harddrive for no reason.

Virus, overheating, etc. etc. etc.
