AirgunGuy 362 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Mine is the same. The battery has been knackered for a couple of years now but I just have to keep it turned on at the mains and it's fine. The only thing I've noticed is that it can over heat so I have to make sure there's an air flow around the fan inlet. Yours may have had the same problem. If it's over heated and crashed then there may be damage to something on the motherboard. As for running slow...if you can get it booted up you should go into system tools and clean the hard drive...it may be loaded with old web pages and other crap. Could also defrag the hard drive...may make it run a bit smoother ;-) Edited August 5, 2013 by AirgunGuy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 if the fans still running and the lights still on its possibly a dry joint on the graphics card, if theres no fan or lights, its possibly a power problem anything from the fuse in the plug to the psu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
