Computer Troubleshooting And Repair

[EL_PY]

My Desktop CPU(10 year lifespan already with some upgrades in the HDD solely OS of Windows XP service pack 2) has been restarting for quite sometime now and today is actually saying i have a big problem... it wouldn't start the usual way it should be.... file data is unreadable with 5-number in between that tine. I've read in an online post that the HDD is already failing.......

 

some files are important i think......

 

Any comments on how to resolve this issue? TIA!

 

Are you saying na Windows XP pa yung nasa Hard disk mo?

The way I see it, its restarting na kasi may vulnerability na yung OS mo.

Wala ng update si Windows XP. You should upgrade sa new OS na.

Possible na infected na PC mo kaya restarting na.

 

Hi Guys.. need help...problem sa laptop model lenovo G40...my mom was just using it to play solitaire or minsan just to type some documents..almost 6 months palang toh,maingat naman kami gumamit nung laptop and never bumagsak. Problem is bigla nalang nagdistort yung monitor while playing solitaire..shinutdown namin at pag-open eh totally black display na sia...pag kinonect ko naman sa external montior...working sia pero totaly black screen na yung sa laptop at di rin marecognized pag inidentify yung display..i tried to search sa google but mostly totally replace ang solution..dinala ko sa repair shop kaso sabi naman sa board na raw.. para kasing imposible masira agad yung led display nia,i was bit dis appointed na kahit ano ingat eh bigla nalang nagblack screen....isa pa padala lang toh so ang warranty niya ay sa abroad pa at medyo hazzle .is there any other way pa ba to solve this... also inaavoid ko na mag flash ng bios at baka lalo lumala..and trying as much to replace agad yung screen..baka may iba pa ba na solution na possible you can share... tnx in advance..

 

specs... Intel core I5...tapos may sticker pa sia na amd radeon as graphics...

 

pag board kasi dapat pati external display kapag kinabit mo is black na din.

LCD panel yan kung pati LCD connector is embedded, pero kung seperate sila go replace na LCD connector first before the display.

YUng LCD connector sa board prone sa batak yan kasi bukas sara ng screen mo.

any idea how to bypass "restricted sites" on Windows 10?

 

Meron kasi ako bagong laptop provided by the company, as in fresh na ako pa nag update sa windows 10. Di ko alam kung naka default setting ba, pero pag mag MTC ako, "restricted website due to adult content" at first kala ko IP restricted lang ng IT namin, pero I can access MTC sa tab and phone ko kahit na connect sa same wifi server.

 

Yung old laptop ko, I can open MTC pa din.

 

Same lenovo thinkpad T450 naman sya.

what is the IP address that it is using?

also check on the parental controls setting, under User Settings.

If it's a company issued laptop it's highly possible that they installed a web filtering software like 'websense'.

Be it the company internet, starbucks wifi, home wifi, or cel hotspot, it will filter any connection you use.

It can be set to block specific categories of websites; like adult content, file sharing, games, video streaming, social networking etc. depending on policy.

 

Or it could be something else.
