Hey all,
I'm new and am seeking help on this laptop, i bought it about a month ago, and roughly 4 days after i bought it it started having freezing issues. i would turn the laptop on, and it would load the os and about 30 secs sometimes 2 mins, it would just freeze, and not recover, i would have to start it up again maby twice before it would actually work and not freeze. since then it has progressed, a week later it would take about 6 re-starts, the next week about 12, and now in a given hour im lucky to have it working for 30 secs, as mostly it freezes beofre is can even load bios.

all drivers are the standard, i have not fiddled with any, ive taken off all the software i installed myself. also i was stupid enough not to create a recov disc when i bought it.

one added point, the hard drive light turns off and you hear the hard drive stop turnin, when it freezes, im not sure which is causing which.

any and all help would be greatly appreciated, as i would like to know and fix the problem rather then have to take it back without knowing what it is.

Thank you very much.
