Hi guys, my Mum is having issues with her laptop in that sometimes it locks up solid requiring a hard reboot. Then it wont turn on properly, i.e the fan spins full speed but there is no video, and i just have to leave it for a while for it to work properly.
Laptop spec:
HP NC6000
Pentium M 1.6GHz
512mb RAM
120GB hdd (nearly new)
Win XP Pro.
That's quite an old laptop. I'd suggest it's probably choked up with dust and fluff which is causing overheating issues. Get a can of dry air and give it a good blow through. You'll probably want to do that outdoors..
