i generally go though laptops quickly as get used a hell of a lot

i seem to rememeber this happening before hence im asking is it a sign of a fault to come

my dell laptop is 11 months old so still 1 month warrenty remaining


its basicly forgeting all login information all the time, several times a day i have to log in again on sites, enter postcode etc on ebay

gutted if its on its way out as ill then have to deal with the awfull pc world's mastercare, had a laptop repaired 5 times last year eventually got money back out of them via credit note so bought this one, i have to be honest its been a ace machine and id buy dell again

it works completely fine its far better than the others ive had fan harldy comes on and is nice and quiet, i just dont want it to fail in a couple months and end up having to buy a new one again

thanks

It just sounds as though your cache is messed up, have you cleared it from within internet explorer (if that is the browser you are using)?

Steve

 

prob havent cleared it for a month or so, dont know what browser, its windows 7 if that helps

 

Under 'Tools', then 'Internet Options' and then under Browsing History delete everything.

Steve

 

forgot to say on the odd youtube vid or some sites it has frozen and the screen wont do anything and i cant seem to close it for a while, that prob happnes every couplke days or so, and if i reopen the page it does the same again, i have to revoot the laptop to sort it

 

possible virus / malware

 

Change the make of said laptop?

 

had to log in again to post this lol


edited : NUMNUTS i just cleared the casche of course i would have to lol


right just done a internet tools clear history and ive just told the avg to do a full scan and didnt find anything

thanks

 

AVG is your first problem, assuming it's the free version. Invest in Nod 32 or similar.
Malwarebytes is handy a tool too.

 

Forget paying for anti virus ms security essentials is superb for a freebie

 

left it in private browsing mode after looking on some dirty sites?

 

Use firefox Ie8 is pants or else listen to the puppy

 

I got this with my 4 year old ratty HP, ran like a Dog, Google Redirect virus, hung, slowed down all the time, stuttered on youtube vids, installed Ubuntu Linux onto a new HD (£34 for 530 gb off Amazon) and now its great, like a new machine, apart fromt he missing M key, knackered hinges and flexy chassis but other than that its fine.

 

Not only that but I read that there is now projected a new danger to your knees from the battery heat while you are using a laptop! You can't knock H&S for their awareness to danger can you!

I'd say there is nothing wrong with your laptop, the issue is with the browser configuration. Either the browser cache is set very low or the browser is set to delete all cookies on exit. Increase the size of the browser cache or take off the option for deleting cookies and browsing history in internet options.

 

Also is it Windows7 64 bit or 32 bit? 32bit is more stable. For example, there is no native 64bit support for Flash player, so this 64bit windows has to convert this to 32 bit so you may experience more crashes with sites that use Flash player, ie Youtube.

 

p.i.c.n.i.c.

 

i honestly wouldnt know how to tell mate


i went into the settings for browsing history took it from 50mb to 90, and changed the keep history down from 20 days to 10

ill keep messing about

thanks chaps

lee

 

Did it wave?

 

Or have its coat on.

 

Coming from an IT person I would have to agree with your diagnosis

 

im lost lol, but then it doesnt take much.

 

It's the keyboard and/or mouse driver...

 

We have noticed

 

thanks i feel better now we have established my um, erm, no knowledge whatsoever with pc's

 

Hi there download CCleaner http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner (with this clean registry,delete cache etc.),if is possible go to DELL website and download latest Firmware and after this will be fine.
If not download Malwarebytes( http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ) and check for unwanted malware etc.

 

thanks for that never even thought of that, went to dell website there was loads of updated drivers down them all restarted machine does seem quicker to be honest, even the pouse pointer keeps flying away from me lol

ill see how it goes, thanks chaps for the help
