I am using DELL XPS L401X laptop from past 1 year, and my laptop usage is 24×7, but suddenly the exhaust fan of my laptop has started working strangely, it runs at very high speed even though the laptop is totally cool and just started, and it runs at the lowest speed ppossible, when laptop actually becomes very hot, what could be the actual problem? Should I contact customer care executive as my laptop is under warranty?

I have a HP-envy laptop .It has AMD Radeon Graphics card inbuilt. It also supports Intel 4000 graphics. One day I changed my graphics from AMD to Intel-4000 for enhancing game (NFS) performance. Instead of enhancing my gaming experience, game starts getting slacked and the worst thing is that battery starts draining rapidly within an hour. I have tried to configure Switchable Graphics but the problem is still the same. Now I Don’t know what to do?

I have Dell Inspiron n5010. I purchased it 3 years back. Now when I press the power button it starts and HANGS UP at 'Starting Windows' Screen. I tried to run it in Safe Mode, in Command Mode and with Networking too but nothing helps. I am stuck with it. I even tried Memory Test in Boot options, it says Memory Test pass. I even tried to repair the windows but guess what? it failed to recover and no restore point is being shown. Unable to do project work. Laptop isn't starting at all.

OS: Windows 7(Ultimate) 32 bit.

What are the conditions that cause laptop batteries to loose or drain power rapidly? What can I do to savage the situation? Is there a software that one can downloads to enhance and prolong the battery of laptops? I am a second year student of Presbyterian University in Ghana and currently using HP laptop. Thank you.

Hi everybody,

I want to know why my laptop screen goes blank I mean it goes black for a while and gets back to normal after waiting for some time. I'm seeing this problem since I downloaded a new game in my laptop so pleae tell me what shall I do now. Will uninstalling this game may solve this problem.

My parents are quite old, but try to remain tech savvy. Their old desktop computer will be retired soon. I was thinking of replacing it with a Chromebook, because they only use it to surf the internet anyway. Would it be a good choice?

Is the Chromebook significantly different from a regular Windows OS? Does it require a lot of adjusting? Can senior citizens who only use the computer to read the news, Skype and little else, learn how to use it?

I would like to buy my son, aged 12, his first laptop computer. I was browsing around and I stumbled on an Acer and a Dell Chromebooks. I am not sure I understand how they work. But I wanted to know if a Chromebok would be suitable as a first laptop.

Is it really different from a regular Windows OS? Is it customable? Does it offer tools to protect and monitor a minor’s online activity?

I am using an HP Pavilion DV7-7121nr but due to some issues, I have to reinstall my Windows. After that, I reinstalled all the drivers including the Beat's Audio Control Panel. However, when clicking on the listening experience, it won't allow me to tick the box next to Beat Audio. I uninstalled and reinstalled again the driver, yet it still the same. Could someone please help me fix this?   

Hi everyone,

I need your advice, my friend is selling his MSI U120 Win Netbook as I can't afford to buy a new netbook thinking to buy it from my friend but I have few doubts that should I buy this Wind netbook or not. I know its specs are quite good but will it boot up quickly and what about the sunlight view? Can we use the Netbook in sunlight with nice viewable screen or not as I'll be using it while traveling too.

Hi everyone,

Its just 4 days I purchased Lenovo G40 laptop. I like its specs for general use and purchased it right away. It's specs are – 

500GB Hard drive, 2GB RAM, Intel Celeron Processor with Windows 8.1 which I thought is enough as the salesman said its fine for basic use but guess what its too slow to operate in fact it is slow from day one I got it home and opened for the first time. It boots pretty well and in less than 30 seconds but the only problem is its speed as expected and hangs every now & then specilly when I use 2 apps simultaneously. Please help me speed up my PC.
