My laptop/notebook in an ASUS F3Fseries it has been a great little compter till now. It wont load some applications e.g media player when I load a film on that it freezes up looks like it is going somewhere but nothing, when i load the internet it loads int expl but wont go further and stops even though it is conected to inters. It took a bump last night could something have come loose is there a system scan I can run to check for problems etc

Freezing is normally down to hardware.

Remove the covers on the bottom and make sure the fans are all clean of dust and debris.

Just tried to do a system restore back to the 1st of the month wont have it. Tried another day nil just stops and sais unable to compleat process try again. Its intermitent this problem it it working fine at the mo then guarentee it will do something stupid.

Could be a virus or something if it's only at certain times like this, or I could be completely wrong. But yeah check out the fans and do a virus and spyware scan. Or it could be something to do with the ram... maybe you should have it checked out if none of the simple things work.

Have you tried doing System Maintenance

If that doesn't help, try some Virus Scans

[sparrow]

You will need to isolate the fault whether it is hardware or software fault,. Get a spare hard drive and fresh install Windows, if it doesnt locks up then you know you have software fault on original hard drive which means you need to run the spyware and maintenance check ie. system mechanic to total clean up your hdd.

If it locks up on fresh install hard drive then you have hardware fault, most common problem is dry thermal paste on processor which you need to remove old paste then re-apply thermal paste and check fan spinning.

Hope that helps
