Mark W Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 My Mum's laptop has started pulling this shit when she starts it up, usually staying like this for about an hour before it actually starts up properly: Anyone get any ideas what it could be? After a brief bit of Google action it sounds like it could be memory related, but most of the answers on other sites were pretty unhelpful. Seeing as people here generally know what's up, does anyone have any suggestions of causes/solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 That's shagged that. Could just be OS related though, you tried booting from an Ubuntu Live CD? If that works, might just be a case of reinstalling windows. If not, it could be memory related, but I dunno how to test it without just buying more RAM. Unless you have another laptop with the same type of RAM you can borrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 No idea unfortunately - it's my Mum's laptop and it's about 3 1/2 hrs from me so I can't really do much, unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestions though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well if you happen to be anywhere near Sheffield, (highly unlikely I know), I'd have a crack if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
