Win7 64 sp2. My laptop today began beeping and shut down. I cleaned the fans and reapplied fresh coolant paste. All hardware temperatures are now good, but discreet AMD graphics card feels very hoy, even though disabled.
Laptop still shuts down after a maximum of 36 beeps, even in safe mode. Tried system restore, but laptop shut down before completion. However, upon reboot there had been some kind of restore, but to some kind of default settings, with old browser settings too, with addons from a longtime ago which I had removed.
Tried again to run in safe mode. Wants to do diskcheck, deletes several corrupt attribute segment 128 files, but shuts down at 5% completion.
If I start in safe mode, I see a list of drivers scroll up the screen. It gets stuck at the driver of the discreet AMD graphics card, which I have disabled (laptop blue screens if I remove it. Too poor to replace it). I can only pass this screen if I repeatedly hit enter.
I have uninstalled the AMD driver, but it reappears when rebooted, though still disabled.
At the moment I have the time of 36 beeps maximum to troubleshoot and make tests.
UPDATE
I managed to get chkdsk to 33% after removing half the RAM, as the beeping was much delayed in beginning. Tríed swapping the other half of RAM, but the laptop won't even boot up. Speccy software states all RAM is working fine.
Other odd things:
I can see content in folders on the desktop, but when I copy & try to paste them to an email for example, I get an error message that the folders are empty & cannot be pasted.
My browsers keep defaulting on every boot up.
My Telegram app has defaulted and my account disappeared.
Am locked out of Facebook
Instagram won't load.
Downloaded Seagate diagnostic tool to desktop, but it disappeared after reboot.
Is it possible to boot from my other internal hd?
