Laptop update
My laptop turned on straight away today which was totally unexpected. It seems to be working fine (minus the slowness every now and then). I tried to restore it last night and it failed, so I've been deleting a lot of unwanted/unused programs/files just to try and see if it was software related. I read in the comments that people think I should get a laptop cooler fan. My laptop has been getting really hot recently so I'm going to do this. I've been looking on ebay for them and they're reasonably cheap, I was wondering if any of you have a laptop cooling tray that you'd recommend? I'll buy one asap.

So let's just hope this cooling fan thing works and my laptop lives happily ever after.. That and I get to meet Newton. AAAAAAAH.

ReplyDeleteGlad the computer started again, but dont trust it too much hahaha Hope you enjoy the newton faulkner show.
ReplyDeletethe other thing is if you're doing a microsoft windows restore (to just an earlier point) is not nearly as effective as just reformatting and re-installing windows completely.
ReplyDeleteI've actually found system restore to be pointless most of the time.
Yeah I am thinking about backing up some of my files and then just reformatting it o;
ReplyDeleteI have a cooling fan, and it works pretty well. Its by Zalman: http://lps2u.com/newshop/product_images/y/066/ZALMANZMNC200__79296_zoom.jpg
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is that it is USB powered...which seemed kind of counter productive. So I have it plugged into my powerbar, via my iPod wall adapter haha.
oooh that one looks pretty good! I saw one similar on ebay.
