It was always a POS. But now its in an infinite loop of restarts due to error.
Life is cruel.

Well, upgrade.
I'm living that chromebook pixel life, thinking I won't update for a decade unless somehow my eyes can magically catch any potential improvement in screen technology.

lol
I will be following this thread. I need a new laptop too, but not necessarily a really good gaming one. One that can handle multiple things (Like out of the park and streams and whatever)
By LFMartins86 Go To PostDoes your laptop have any kind of diagnosis tool in the boot menu?I don't even know how to get to the boot menu on this thing.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostYour HDD is probably fucked.
Quite possibly this.
Anytime errors start popping up with file system in it, and reboots take place, there's a really good chance it's storage.
Do you have things backed up?
By blackace Go To Postit's posting and getting to the part where it needs the hdd…. what maker is your laptop?Toshiba. It was always a POS but I'm sad without Hulu.
You could possibly try and rescue some of the data. Download Ultimate Boot CD and burn it to a bootable CD or a bootable USB pen, run it and the HDD diagnostic tools or the data recovery tools.
Funny story, I got some important stuff on my dead laptop #nohillary
Gonna actually need to save it now.

What are you buying to replace it? If you go Mac then wait until after March 21st just in case Apple launches new retina macbooks.
No way in hell I'm going Mac
Outside of just disliking Apple products, I'm a gov employee. That shit just doesn't mesh at all.

Do we have a thread for tech-related impulses? For the first time in my life I have some meaningful savings, and I'm tempted to get a nice desktop upgrade. Not sure if I should bite on a i7 6700k machine.

Not sure if I should bite on a i7 6700k machine.I've heard several people ask about one. Maybe make one? That'd be a great and I'll promote it.
By reilo Go To PostI've heard several people ask about one. Maybe make one? That'd be a great and I'll promote it.Ok, I will, but let's agree on the content. Should it be about tech as a whole, or should we do separate threads for phone, computers, etc? I'm thinking one general tech thread works better considering our current size, and we might change later.
