would anyone know why my laptop would just stop working?

I used it last night and shut it down with no problems, my son wanted to play a game on it this morning and it wouldn't boot up.

maybe.....

it ran the diagnostic and all was good... but when I went to restart it said it needed to repair and *sigh* it crashed during the repair and it won't start... the thing is that it has a cooling fan under it.... UGH It's not even a year old

at what point does it go wrong during boot ? I might be able to help out if you're a little more specific.
sounds like a software issue, since the hardware diagnostics turn out ok.

I was called today, my lap top is ready to be picked up, I am at my moms so i won't get it till sat. Apparently it was a system card that needed to be replaced... so not sure what that is. Anyway all I need to do is find all my files again, they dumped my hard drive and then dumped it back to my desk top .... *sigh*


:coffee:

yupp
At least it's fixable. Are you a responsible person who actually backs up? I think I've only met a handful of those, I really need to start backing up. Yeah, computers can be frustrating especially it seems like for me my computer tends to break right after the warranty is up. Did you have to pay anything? or was it all free?
