lord_casek Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 its a laptop. and its got a warranty, plus i got a new top cover and touch pad cover put on it at the same time. ahh, well, i still would have replaced it myself. that's the kind of shit you don't want happening to a new computer. fans going out is a minor problem, but who knows what will go out next.

Qawee Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 ok i fixed it, i tried the stuff casek recommended, one was just a blocker thing, the other needed to download shit to install and for some reason couldn't connect to the server. i eventually used 'hijack this' to get a list of running processes as well as registry entries, which enabled me after rebooting in safe mode to get rid of the thing causing the problem :mad: it took entirely too long, but its fixed now. on another note, seffiks, whats up with a link to the japanese ninja porn??!?!? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seffiks Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 sounds like a driver issue ( go to device manager and remove it) sounds to me like you installed it more than once and its causing conflicts so go to the device manager locate it and remove it including doubles if theres any plug it back in when the propmt comes up saying found new hardware cancel it and manually open device manager and scan for hardware changes and choose it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny ballbags Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 sef... ive done that like 10 times already........ its definitely not that............ i try to fix problems on my own for a while before i get fed up enough to bother you guys... so usually ive tried all the obvious stuff already.... it says "data error (cyclic redundancy check)" after it tries to install..... im looking through a bunch of google results from that now but im not finding much..... how do i always have the most retarded problems that ive never heard of before?

KM4RT Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 .... no no. i dont mean a driver for the thing. i mean drivers for the USB hub, like the usb plugs in your comp. they also have drivers. and i think they may not be installed properly. try connecting another usb device to see if it works.
