      Laptop Help
      Jul 10, 2011 08:48:13 pm
      I'm having a big problem with my laptop, and if anyone can offer any advice it would be much appreciated.

      I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop which I got last May and its been fine up until last night when it just randomly crashed and came up with a blue screen saying it had to turn itself off. So I turned it back on and it said turn on in safe mode or start normally. I opted with safe mode and it came up with 'loading files' and a bar but then didn't carry on loading in safe mode, it went back to the launch options screen so I tried normal launch. After about 5-10 mins saying 'starting windows' it came up with the same blue screen saying it had to turn itself off.

      And it's done the same thing for the past 24 hours. If I press F8 or F12 it doesn't do anything. F12 does come up with something to do with check the memory but it doesn't help in bringing up my desktop.

      Soo, if anyone can offer any advice it would be gratefully appreciated, if not I'll go to the PC World Tech Guys and see if they can do anything besides charging me an arm and a leg!

      In order to find out what's going on, I need the code that it comes up with on the blue screen - the very first one.

      i.e. It'll be like:
      Code: [Select]
      This is the one I need -->0x000000XXX (0x000000XXX 0x000000XXX 0x000000XXX)

      My sister has that Laptop, gets problems all the time, I don't really rate Dell computers as much as I used to. I'm pretty sure she had that problem due to overheating as dust had collected in the fan so it wouldn't rotate, open it up or give it to someone to do, give it a clean and try again, also make sure it is not covered on the underneath like when you put it on a bed or cushion, have it on a flat surface to prevent it heating up.

      That line says *** STOP: 0x00000074 (0x0000000000000002, 0xFFFFF880032CBAE0, 0x0000000000000004, 0xFFFFFFFFC000014D)

      We don't have a screwdriver in the house so I'll try that tomorrow. I hope it's just that its over heated, I do have it on a lot, and not a virus or something that's going to wipe my hard drive

      Looks like Reslivo is the man to save the day here. Bought my missus the same laptop and it has been fine but recently she has had blue screen with power adaptor fault message coming up. I think the laptop battery has gone but the laptop works fine off normal power so i fail to see how the adaptor is at fault.

      Hope Reslivo sorts it out for you, know how frustrating it can be when your laptop goes down. Great to know that there are Tech Guys of our own on the forum, could save you a small fortune as i wouldn't recommend PC World, they are rip off merchants.

      Looks like faulty RAM.

      You'll need to either take it to a PC repair shop (they'll rip you off to F**k) or simply check the RAM yourself by opening the computer up.

      I have the same laptop and it done the exact same thing. Not using it at the minute though.

      Is it difficult to fix Reslivo?

      Again, I'll need your Bluescreen error code, because it could be something completely unrelated to this.

      Could be a RAM stick isn't in properly, or it could even be something like your HDDs SATA/IDE cable coming slightly loose. Or even your CPU starting to burn out (but that's the worst case).

      I'll not bother you with it now mate as I don't use it at the minute but if I start it up and get the code I'll put in on here and if you know what the problem is I'd appreciate it but as I said no real urgency just that this thread put it back in my head.

      How do I go about doing that Res? Like what am I looking for/ how do I repair it?

      Sorry to keep asking questions but I only know the basics if computers! Thanks for your help so far though :)

      Hard to explain, so I found a website:

      Link

      Remove one, then turn the laptop on. If you BSOD again, the stick you left in is faulty. Remove that, and put the one you removed earlier back in.

      Sounds like a program fault.

      Download the latest version of the browser you're using.

      I'm sure he appreciates your help.

      I'm also sure he didn't win the Euromillions tonight and therefore can't afford an Apple madeoutofgoldbook or whatever they call their laptops.

      Probably not the right thread. Need a new laptop. Keyboard randomly stopped working on me, using the on screen keyboard (touchscreen but pain in the arse).

      Stuck between these two.
