Hello,
I've recently been having problems with my Inspiron 1501 laptop and I am not sure what is wrong with it. The computer is about 4.5 years old and this is the first problem I have had with it. I will be using the computer, most recently typing a paper, and the screen will just go to Blue and White stripes and will not respond to Ctrl+alt+delete and the only thing I can do it turn the computer off, let it sit and then turn it back on. When I turn it back on, it recognizes that the system was not shut off properly and suggest going into Safe Mode first before going into the regular mode. I was just wondering what the problem might be. Is it time to purchase a new computer? I am a student and I don't really want to look into a new computer, but I am more afraid of something happening during a big project and don't want to risk my computer giving out on my then.
