Big windows 7 issue Help!
Hi all
Im new to the forums and i joined because im am in quite a pickle. So here we go. My brother recieved his laptop a few days ago. If your wondering its a HP HDX 18. When we got it we upgraded it to windows 7 64 bit biuld 7100. It was working fantastically for the first 2 days. Then the next morning he booted up his laptop and the first thing he noticed that there was a huge performance dip and that any sound that was played was all distorted. Then the computer itself would lock up and would not respond. So we tried to reboot it and it would get to the Windows 7 boot screen and just stay there.
He has only installed a few items such as firefox and few games. Ive tried to boot the windows 7 install disk but it gave me an error saying no emulation present. And that goes for the windows vista disk also. We are extremely frustrated because i have been running 7 for a few months on my XPS 630i without any hitches. We installed both from the same disc too. I don't know if its a hardware fault or if its 7. Any help or insight would be extremely welcomed and thank you in advance.
