d610 - playing up
i got a virus (trogan Lop or something along those lines) re-booted the laptop and now its really playing up with me
internet keeps on dropping out (network card), and computer keeps on freezing completly. I can get on to the net some times but only for a minute or two, then it will drop out again.
sometimes i havew to boot up 4/5 times to even get onto windows as it keeps of freezing during load up
any ideas / comments as to what i could do ???

will try that thanksat present it freezes either during the windows logo (with the bars running across the bottom)or when i come to the log in screenor then once logged in and as windows loads upif it does happen to load, then i have to re-intall the drivers for my WLAN card thingy to get the internet to work, then if the internet does work it tends to do so for a few minutes before my comp crashes to a blue screen saying something with regards to dumping memorysorry for being vague, but im not really to on it with regards to computers !- If you are not too hip with computers, I would take it somewhere. You're going to do more damage trying to fix this yourself.
I'm not sure where you live, but I'm sure there is a CompUSA, PCClub, something that can clean that up for you.
I hope you backup your data! 1d49f54a95134b2

Have you got a copy of Windows XP? Or a recovery disc? It would be easier to reinstall Windows than take it to a computer store. They will probally charge $$$$$$$$$$$$ for a simple install.redsclubbedup

this is how its acting after blowing everything away and reloading everything ! i have disabled the wifi card and its running ok now so think its that thats gone, at least it isnt crashing, but im having to get the net on another computer - or plug it in !- You can just replace your miniPCI wireless network card.
If you take apart your laptop (specifically the keyboard), you can release the current miniPCI card. Be careful not to sever the two little wires connected to it. Those are the ends of your antenna, which is a thin wire that wraps around the perimeter of your LCD display for better hidden reception.
I don't know how comfortable you are working on a PC (especially a laptop), but replacing your wireless card is extremely easy relative to other potential service tasks on a laptop. :)
When the little progress bar is moving while Windows is loading, drivers and system files are being loaded. Given the information you supplied, there's a clear connection between your wireless card being active and the crashing of the computer. It's either a driver issue or more likely faulty hardware, which in turn causes failures THROUGH the driver.

-Take hard drive out. Connect it to another computer as a slave, run virus scan.
-Boot that hard drive in your laptop into safe mode with command prompt. Get rid of anything odd with HiJackThis
