I usually have more time to find a problem, but I've been studying constantly for the LSAT in two weeks. These computer issues are driving me insane. The problems originally started a few months back, but it gradually got worse over time. Within the past month though, is when it became the worst.
For the last 3 weeks, anytime I started my computer up it would give the "No Boot Disk" error, but once I hit any key..it went away. I was thinking my hard drive was failing, or something of the sort, but once I did the latest Factory Reset -- that warning went away.
A few forums said it could be the SMART drive, but then again, I'm not sure. I would say that my video and audio has been acting up, as well. My computer is entirely too new/fresh to act the way it does, last night I could not even play YouTube videos. Awkward.
I've done:
Several Factory Resets within the past 3 months, the first 2 weren't even successful. This past time [4 days ago] was 'successful,' but it is still not acting like I believe it should. I've done a hard reset and what not, still not the same.
I've ran Norton test, updated all of my drivers, hard drive test passed multiple times, memory test passed multiple times. Sometimes on start-up, I receive the black screen. I received the blue screen one time last week (prior to the latest reset). Everything seems to pass on my computer, it just does not work correctly. I need some help.
