If you like a simplified and easy to use browser, chrome would be the choice ( as I learnt recently ). If you like to customize your browser and many fancy features Opera or Firefox would be good.

What do you mean by "a weird HDD scrawling at startup "? After you boot up and log in, go to spotlight and search for disk utility. Select Macintosh HD on the left and click on verify disk. You might also want to install Onyx to clear your cache and other useless items.

I need to know some of your specs

1) How old is your mac and what is your current version?
2) What is your ram?

Important Notes: Clearing the PRAM does not always help and could even harm your mac. Slow startup could be a sign that your hard disk is going to crash or fail soon.

Your hard disk has crash, you need to get a new hard disk. Try sending it to a local repair shop and have some expert to closely look at it.

Do this steps

1) On your mac and insert the Mac OSX Installation Disk into your mac mini
2) Restart your mac and hold down the option key as it boot up again
3) Select the disk and choose your language.
4) When you enter, remember do not reinstall snow leopard at the top of the screen there will be a utilites bar something like that.
5) Go and search for disk utility and use it to repair your hard disk. After you are done, restart your mac but this time boot up from the internal hard disk.


See whether that works, if that fails most likely you need to get a new hard disk for your mac. Send your mac to an authorized apple store and get the technician there to help you fix.

Plug in when you want to backup your data to that hard drive using Time Machine, if not in use just plug it out. There are no pros but the cons is that your hard drive may get corrupted easily.

Have you found a cure cause I have run out of ideas. Does other user account ( if you have one ) on your mac face the same problem as you?

Instead of hiding your dashbard in login items in system preference, delete it instead. It won't harm the dashboard app. Your dashboard may start slow due to a lot of widgets in it, low ram or less hard disk space left. Try downloading onyx and run it. Restart your mac and see whether your dashboard takes long to start up.

By the way how do you start up your dashboard? Pressing F4 or clicking on the applications?

Why not create a thread on movie reviews. After watching the latet movies, we can post some reviews about them so other members can have a look and decide whether they want to watch the movie.

It also depends on the brand of the laptop. I suggest that an i5 processor will be good enough. Unless you are doing what flagstar said above. 4GB ram and 500 GB hard drive will do and 1 GB graphics. Good luck

Turn on your computer and insert the disc and after that shut it down. Next turn on your computer again and follow the onscreen instrcutions. How about my rest of the advise?

Edit:

Try Flagstar advice first before using mine. If flagstar solution helps you can forget about the my method. Good luck:)

Use the power cord instead of the battery, have the battery removed and see whether your laptop works with only the power cord. Can you charge your battery. If no, battery is faulty and need to replaced soon. How old is your battery?

You are right about the Motherboard being from an E-Machine. If you have spare HDD, put in some data into it ( Not important ) and try it with the Imperial motherboard. Use the emachine cd and try reinstalling the HDD and see if that works.

@ Paat, Flagstar and Pro2000

Actually before you guys came to this game, Team B and A have already won a few time.

The score should be before this win

Team A - 7
Team B - 2

Now it is

Team A - 7
Team B - 3

There are a lot of great players in this game before. See below

Debasisdas, Arbus, Abellazm, Kraai, Momerath and Twiss . And of course me and wenbnet.

Now the game has three new players ( you should know it yourself ). Its time to this game should rest in peace until a new daniweb member comes by and revives it. Till then.

You can still continue playing the game if you want too.

Go to device manger and check whether there are any yellow exclamation or red X there. If there is uninstall and install the latest driver again. Why in the first place will your screen resolution change? If reinstalling the drivers won't work, take another graphic card ( if you have want ) and try it on your laptop. See whether that works. If yes, do what Adam K said. Buy a new graphics card. Try doing a scan with malwarebytes too

Like what Flagstar said above. Overheating could well be the problem. Just asking can you charge your laptop or are you using a PC?

Have -2 votes already even when he was OP and ask the right thing?? Weird...

Back to topic, can you explain your problem in a little more bit detail on the process you were doing now?

The poster have spam links in his signature. That is maybe the reason he got down voted.

@ iAssistant

First thing. Don't always reformat your computer when you have a virus. Do what crunchie said and post in the Virus, Spyware and other Nasties forum. Experts there will help you to remove the virus.

Second point. Your thread topic is not related to your thread. If you want to diagnose your hard disk problem, you can always run chkdsk in your command or use seatool athough there are more softwares. In this case it is different you got a virus instead.

You might also want to do a scan first. Try Malwarebytes or your antivirus program. Malware could possibly take up your disk space but not that much but no harm checking.

flagstar commented: hi... i don't think it's a malware but worth checking anyway +5

There is none. So you want to use Mac OS X. Which version are you planning to use? Snow leopard or Lion version? Most software for Mac OS X requires your mac version to be higher than 10.6. Those are for new apps. Snow leopard is 10.6.5 and Lion is 10.7

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

You mean when you use it halfway it turn off by itself right? How old is your laptop?

Your problem can be cause by an overheating issue. Clear the heatsink and fan. Check whether the heatsink is clogged with dusk if yes clear it and check whether the fan is working properly to cool the CPU. It should be spinning.

I am not sure whether this has been discussed in daniweb before. But is that a way to like auto closed thread after a time limit the thread has not gotten any response. And those who have posted in the thread before still have access and post but new comers do not.

Have to say pretty nice point too. This is the first time i have heard that lenovo laptop can withstand a person weight standing on it. A year ago, i had a toshiba windows xp laptop. I left the laptop on the floor and suddenly my 10kg school bag fell on top of it. The screen crack immediately.

Cool, i have to recommend Lenovo to my friends now as they always drop their laptop.:D
