About 3 weeks ago I bought a new Vortex III LE customised laptop. Please check out specs below if you wish. Everything was proceeding fine after I installed all the relevant software.
After spending several hours transferring a bunch of media files from my NAS I went to pick up the laptop from my sofa onto my lap. It was during this time that my new laptop had frozen - not even the mouse was moving. It semed that the system had locked up for some reason and all I could do was turn off the power button to restart it.
The first time I tried to restart it normally it crashed badly (BSOD!) when starting up. I was starting to get a little worried. The second time I turned on the laptop it suggested that I use a system disc, which I used (windows 7). I assume to this was to repair system files. I am not sure if the laptop used this to fix any files, but following this I was offered to perform a system restore which I chose.
Thankfully I was able to get my system up and running again! It may be just coincidence, but my latop seemed to crash when I picked it up and put it on my lap. Because I use my laptop often for many reasons, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? I need too ensure I do no have have to worry about the laptop's robustness.
Thanks for reading this !!
