It sounds like a malware problem to me. Were you able to resolve it? If not, please try running a scan of your computer with any malware cleaner, and then remove any troubling files. I’m certain it will start working.

I have just experience a similar event with my Toshiba laptop. It only failes when I boot the unit up with the wireless switch on. This also only happens at my home location. BIZZAR. I thought it may be external interfearance causing the wireless to pick up an unrecognized opcode and cause a system boot failure, so I powered down my entire house but the unit still locked up on boot up. I loaded fresh sw from the OEM disks and it locked up during the network driver load. I have a service plan with best buy and they replaced the hard drive and reloaded software. Still the same problem. I cant get the unit to lock up anywhere else and it works fine at the best buy store. I must be in a black hole here SO for now I boot up with out wireless on and use it hard wired to the network jack. That kind of defiets the purpose of the portability of the laptop. The Best buy tech looks at me like I am smoking dope, so I have brought it in in the lock up state to show him, and he reboots it with no issue. I have driven all over town with the wireless up and rebooted sincing to any unsecured network I can find. So far its not failed, and I am frustrated. Good luck with your issue but so far they wont replace the hardware unless they can repeat the issue. But they won’t come to my house to see the failure.

Im also experince the same problem…i’ve tried format my laptop with fresh window 7 but the problem still occured. It must be hardware failure as new window copy could’t fix it…

Ian Silk,

Why does the harddrive on my laptop stop working for a few seconds then starts working again

How do you know that your hard drive stops working for a few seconds? Provide more info about the failure. What are you experiencing?

Good work done guys!

i have a small issue with my laptop too. My laptop keeps going off few minutes after i switch it on. On a very good day, it stays up for an hour and then goes off again. It normally goes off when i am playing music, watching a movie or when i leave it on for some time without touching the mouse or the keyboard. Currently, it is frozen and part of its blue screen has turn brown. The keyboard and the mouse are all not responding to any command. Please help me find solution to this.

Greetings everyone.

I’ve been having a500 problem with my Dell Vostro 1500. When i use it connected to the internet with DSL cable the laptop freezes after a while randomly and i have to restart everytime;/. When i use the laptop with wireless internet it has no problem at all… Can someone help me out? I dont have wireless at my house so it’s very frustrating having to restart so frequently:/ thank you very much in advance:)

Hi all,

The problem on HP laptops is caused by chips working loose and the ONLY way to repair it is to re-flow the motherboard or replace it. Its generally the graphics chip and some brave souls have fixed it by heating it with a hair dryer until the solder melts than keeping it still until it cools. Best fix though is to rework it with a hot-air station. I would hazard a guess that this is the fault with other makes too. Once you have replaced RAM and the HDD to no avail.. its going to be a motherboard problem.
Good luck with it all.

I have a problem with my laptop. I have a Toshiba L305-S5875. When I turn on my laptop, and let all my programs start up, it freezes a few minutes later. I would have to restart the computer by pressing the power button. If I try to run anything, it would freeze. How can I fix this problem?
