Herro.
So i'm having some issues with my laptop. It keeps freezing most of the time when I open up Skype or a game. On some occasions it says, 'Windows has encountered a critical problem. Your computer will now restart, please save your work.'
Whenever I start it up sometimes the 'Starting Windows' screen doesn't occur. I have to keep on turning it off and on, after about 4 or 5 times, it works.

This is very frustrating and it would be good if someone has a solution.
I also have a downloaded copy of Windows 8 on the same computer where I have Windows 7, so I can switch.
The one having the problems is Windows 7 Home Premium.
Thanks :D

It might be going to the place of needing replacement though, but then again I don't know anything about hardware so I'm not really qualified to say that :P
Buy a new hard drive, transfer the stuff from the current one to the new one and shove it inside ur laptop again, it should fix it. Or it might be a windows fuckup, idk

I kind of like Windows too but it's sometimes so glitchy ;_; I like 7 the best, I have 8 in my yet-to-repair laptop and that OS is glitchy as hell. I think 7 has better perfomance, my laptop got a kind of weak CPU (Acer Aspire V5-122P)

Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah I do think it is in need of a total replacement because I'm not going to try and fix it when I'm getting a new one for Christmas.

Oh and Happy Christmas guys! :3

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
