Greetings!
My laptop has been running smoothly for awhile now. I maintain and keep it happy more than your average user. I put it into sleep mode while i ran an errand, then took it out of sleep mode when i returned an hour later. when it resumed, It froze. I waited for some time and still i could not get it to do anything. I pressed CTL+Alt+del and i got a blue screen. I figured it was about time to wipe it all and put the operating system back on fresh. when rebooting the computer it will run post just fine, then instead of going to the loading windows screen, it is just blank. I have tried changing the boot order and use a recovery dvd I made so i didnt have a bunch of hassle, but unfortunately that does not work. I have changed the boot order again to boot from USB where I have the operating system loaded to an external drive, but I don't think i did that right... Any advice on what i should do? I have been tinkering with this for some time now. I am going to try to change out a harddrive and troubleshoot that to see if perhaps the drive just pooped out on me. Any advice is welcome.
