I'll pass all that on to Eck, but he's just about as useless as me. And there's not a hope in hell of fujitsu replacing the laptop:lol: They're horrendous that way. However, thank you majorly for the help! | |

Yeah the restore discs with use a hidden partition on the drive to restore windows back to factory (ie: when you purchased the laptop). If it's erroring just after the loading screen, then it could be hardware fault (could be anything from dodgy ram/memory, mostly likely, to the motherboard to the power supply) or a dodgy driver which is halting windows loading (although this would be confusing). | |

Dom, the laptop was getting allowing windows to load, but then freezing. The laptop didn't come with restore discs, that's what the burnt discs are apparently. They're supposed to restore back to factory setting(using some sort of hidden recovery partition, or so google told me). Having put the discs through(they worked last time we had to do this) it is now coming up an error screen saying run computer repair(which didn't work) as there is an error with recently installed hardware(the discs we put in I assume). Does this sound like hardware damage? Also, eerrmm....what does hardware damage mean?:lol: We're trying customer service tomorrow as it's still in warranty thankfully. But will warranty cover this? | |

Does it allow you get into windows? Or is it erroring before the windows load screen? Also, did the laptop come with any restore discs rather than the ones you had to burn? | |

Right. Eck has a Fujitsu Siemens xi 2550 laptop. With this laptop you have an option to burn three system recovery discs incase you need to restore the system. Yesterday Eck was having trouble with the laptop, it would freeze entirely after two minutes and doing a system restore to a few weeks week prior sorted the problem for a few hours then it happened again. We figured this was due to a virus and the fact Norton had stopped working. So decided to restore the system using the dics. This has been done before and worked fine after the laptop one day randomly refused to load. |
