somethings weird with my computer (again)
Mr Queeba:
Try:
* Running chkdsk (put chkdsk /F in command prompt, if you get unrecoverable errors your hard drive is probably dying). I'd also, just to make sure, do a SMART test of the drive.
* Running Memtest86 (test memory, see if it's bad)
* Running a good antivirus (you never know if a malware is messing with your system)I'd honestly run chkdsk first, because from what you're saying it definitely seems like your hard drive is going bad. Back up any data you can as fast as possible if that is the case before it's too late.

actually its because the laptop goes into sleep mode when i press the power button, when i turn it back on, its slow as forget, but it works perfectly fine when i shut it down entirely.
I managed to actually get AVAST working. it's doing a scan right now.
