1.	Solve : Weird Problem with laptop?
Answer» Hey Ive got a weird problem with my laptop. Whenever i try to use any program i have this weird stopping in the program. It is similar to when you would play a game and not have the min req. for the game. I have an Asus G74sx, win 7 64bit service pack 1 6.1 build 7601, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU 2.00 GHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 560m, 8 Gig Ram, 1 Terrabyte Hardrive (Not SSD). I have done several virus scans with Ad-Aware and Avast Anti-virus software pro, including a full bootscan I have recently had my fans and usb board replaced. The was a small heat problem. This problem started before i had it repaird and am wondering if the heat may have messed with my prosseser, cpu or gpu. I could use some help in perhaps testing this or help in finding out what is wrong in the software of windows or if it is a driver problem. I do not know enough of computers to know what mor information anyone would need. Any help is appreciated [recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]The more likely thing is software, not hardware. IMHO. Just a suggestion. I think this might help. Boot in Safe Mode and log in as Administrator. (The user whose name really is Administrator.) Run some virus scans again. If there is any kind of virus still in the system, you need to get some help from Super Dave or one of the other experts.
