so I have tried it out for a few days and no BSOD slight over heating but not as bad but a new bsod happens. when I plug anything into the ports on the left side the BSOD pops up and shuts down. I tried a usb, passport and a mouse and its only the 2 ports. Should I try one more time to uninstall the drives and reboot or is it possible that usb ports can go bad? I dont think they can be replaced because they are all built into the motherboard. I am getting over a nasty cold so I will be having someone come out and see what they can do, this is someone my family knows instead of taking it to my normal place. Its going to need a reload and I have to have him look at the big PC bc there is adware and malware that will not go away so we are going to do 2 birds with one stone. thanks again for all the help, I am just trying to figure out if my laptop had had it because i dont want to put anymore money in it.
If it doesn't do it on all USB ports, then I would try disabling the drivers for the problem ports; reboot; enable them; reboot and then try them again.
I vaguely remember that, on certain motherboards with one type of bus controller, not all the ports would work. That was at least four or five years ago and I can't remember if the applicable ports were the SATA on the motherboard or the USB ports.
I was able to remove all the drives again bc the others were acting up and after a few unsuccessful tries I finally got all the ports working correctly again and I have been monitoring the temperture. No BSOD so far I will report back in a few days and if all is ok I will mark this as solved. thank you for everyones help
So The overheating has stopped but now when I go to shutdown or if I dont use the laptop for a few hours it goes to a new BSOD. I dont think its the usb ports now so I am going to mark this complete and hopefully soon I can get a professional to really look into all the issues. thanks again for all the help
Test your RAM and HDD!
To test RAM
- Click Start, type mdsched.exe in the Search box, and then press Enter.
- Choose whether to restart the computer and run the tool immediately or schedule the tool to run at the next restart.
- Windows Memory Diagnostics runs automatically after the computer restarts and performs a standard memory test automatically.
To test HDD
SeaTools for Windows, being that your drive is SeaGate the tool has a repair function only for SeaGate drives. Run SMART Short Drive Self-Test and Short Generic, if any fail, try the seatools repair then test again. Another failure, backup you drive with full system image and purchase a new drive.
Give axe0 a shout via PM (private message) if it continues.
What other issues are you referring to. Many here are in the Expert category & specialize such as axe0 with BSOD.
I set the memory test for next reboot, and I just had a brand new hard drive put in it 2 months ago and it was tested last time it was in. I will report back with the restults to the memory test.
EDIT I ran the memory test and after a few unsuccessful tries it finally completed and no issues found.

So just an update, sorry for the lond delay. I have run the laptop non stop for the last couple weeks. I think there was a BSOD that popped up a few weeks earlier but I know for over a week there hasnt been one. The over heating has stopped completely and given how old the laptop actually is its running very fast. I will have to take it in to have the software reloaded to fix my blank background and some of the programs dont work the greatest but I can at least download, watch movies and use the internet so I am happy for now. I Im just gonna keep using it until it finally dies im just more cautious to make sure and remove all my files every few days. I cant thank everyone enough for helping me. and as of now I will be marking this topic closed. thanks again and Happy Holidays.
