A Slow Laptop

A customer brought in their Gateway laptop yesterday. Windows 8 is installed and she said it was acting very slow. She was in a hurry to get a diagnosis so I initially said it could be a virus. After all, a virus will slow down a computer as well. Once I determined that the laptop was so slow it could not have any repair utilities run on it directly I removed the drive and powered it with another system. It was then determined that the drive was actually failing.

Windows 8 was later in a repair loop with the message stating, diagnosing your pc, attempting repairs. Several fixes are all over the internet, stating to change this or that setting, however, none take into account the possibility of a failing drive! That’s just what was happening here. The drive had such severe errors that a data recovery service was now necessary.

Turn it Off!

So if you’re in a Windows 8 automatic repair loop with your system, I urge you to just turn it off immediately! If the problem is a failing hard drive, it could die at any minute.
