Your hard drive is failing, thats why it wouldnt shut down.

Back everything up and buy a new one before you cannot access it at all.
Laptops are notorious for failing HDD, because you move them when they are searching etc. Ive gone through 3 hard drives on this laptop im typing on in 2 years.

Hi op, Just to rule out any errors with the operating system ..........

Click start followed by my computer.

Right click hard drive and the click properties.

Click the tab that says tools and then in the error checking box click check now.

Check the boxes that say automatically fix file system errors and also the one that says to attempt recovery of bad sectors.

apply the settings. Reboot and let it run. See how that does. Good luck

write down the error code and google it, its likly to be bad drivers, hard drive, memory or graphics card and that error code will tell you pretty fast.

Click on your start icon/windows icon at the bottom left of your screen. Then click on my computer. You should be able to see your hard drive which will be labelled as your C drive. Then follow the steps from previous post.

well if it turns out to be memory, swapped out the memory like the hard drive transplant you said.

Thats the easiest thing in the world and can be done in minutes too, but you have all your data and such


Pray its memory (also memory is very cheap atm).

Ifs it turns out to be the graphics card you are in trouble, or if some faulty windows drivers that can be fixed, but might be a bit of a nightmare to hunt down and do, not easy for a novice.

You can in most cases. You just need to know if the drive you are taking out is the same as the drive that you will be putting in, I.E sata or IDE.

True. That response typically comes from Linux users and granted, it's much easier to do then with Win., but most people have no idea how to reinstall an OS let alone find the drivers afterwards.

Your computer not shutting down is not a direct sign of a failing hard drive. It seems every time someone has a problem these days people immediately jump to the "you hard drive is failing answer". 9 times out of 10 this is not the case.

Reinstall windows is another lazy idea and should be a last resort not a first choice.

First off ,Haven123 what version of windows are you running?

When you get the blue screen it should give you an error code. Its not always easy to write it down before the computer resets but if you can write it down and post it here then it will be a lot easier to work out what the problem is.

you can turn the auto restart off, right click "my computer" and click advanced settings, then "start up and recovery" settings, and uncheck automatically reset. this setting in nearly all versions of windows, but its location moves around, the above route is for windows 7.

Then you can leave it up there till you have the info (using your phone camera works pretty good for making this easy) and reset it when you are ready to.

Do you use the laptop on the bed or carpet or any non hard surface? This can create heat problems if the fans cant get the heat out of the vents and have been known to upset the cpu/gpu/memory
