Repair Taking 32 hours....
Hi All,
I have a Windows 7 laptop which I have had for 12 months. More recently it started to run very slowly and I had to constantly refresh IE (version 9) I had tried to run avast antivirus scan on it to see if there was anything untoward but after 2.5 days the scan (simple scan, not full scan) wasw still not complete. A few days ago I shut down the laptop a few times to see if it made a difference, it didn’t. I tried to restart in safemode, it wouldn’t, it goes to a black/blue screen with no cursor or response from any keys.
I have now tried to boot in normal mode, last known good config etc and also repair, the laptop got to a repair screen and too 4 hours to get to the “we are fixing anything broken” box, which was “fixing” for 32 hours at which point I had given up.
Can anyone recommend a next step aside of a sledge hammer?
Many thanks.
