Computer still freezing after a system restore, help?
Hi I tried looking for an answer everywhere, but no luck. My problem. I came home one day, and my computer was frozen, the screen black, had to press the power button to restart. I had no idea what could have happened, the pc worked fine before i left the house earlier. I tried doing a system restore by myself, nope, it kept freezing at 50% or more. Farthest iv gone was maybe 98% before it froze. I took the PC to Geek Squad. They cleaned all the dust out, and restored the pc, and ran diagnostics. They said everything was fine, and it must have been the dust. I come home, start downloading all the updates, 10 min later, my pc freezes. So i have to do a power button thing again. I got really mad. Since that point on, the pc kept freezing at random times. I downloaded CCleaner, and other programs to fix the registry. They helped a little. Now the PC only seems to freeze when i watch youtube videos, browse through pictures, or try to watch movies, and play games. It freezes on me at random times, i could watch 5 youtube videos and then it will freezes, i can watch 1 video and it would freeze. I can open a facebook game and it will freeze. I dont know what to do anymore, at first i thought it was the memory, but its good. Now im thinking it might be the graphics card, but geek squad said it was alright. So my pc still freezes, and i dont know what to do. My PC: -VISTA 64 Bit (Home Premium) -Intel Pentium Dual-Core Desktop Processor E2200 -4096 MB System memory -500 GB Hard Drive -Nividia GeForce 7100 graphics card.

My computer keeps restarting/ black screen?
When i use my computer it goes to a black screen at random times. These times are unexpected. I restored my computer back to origanel settings a couple of weeks back. When it goes black i have to reset my computer by holding the power button. Help please?(Screen power remains on) And then sometimes now my computer keeps restarting instead of a black screen. once it restarts it does it repeatedly until i manually reboot it.
How do you abort a computer restore after it's started?
"I now only have a blue screen saying there was a failed attempt." This means that it can't be "aborted", because it already finished, and failed. FYI: Your term "computer restore" is way too vague, do you mean System Restore, Windows Repair or Windows Recovery (using the name-branded disks that came with your PC)? But, that's rhetorical, and I'll just assume you FUBARed Windows: Read your PC's User Manual to learn how to return it to "Factory New" condition. And, if you've never done a BackUp (RTFM), all your personal data, and installed apps, will be destroyed.

My laptop is really slow despite a full restore to factory settings and a quite powerful spec. Why?
Very good answers here already, but let me add a possibility or 2. You mentioned that it is restored to factory spec. Contrary to popular belief, restoring a Windows machine built by most "name" manufacturers to factory is a very poor standard or starting place for getting good performance. Is Windows update on? If so, when windows update is downloading, wired or WiFi, it can take up a really stupid amount of resources. To the point of ANY browser or program being glacially slow to open, no matter how ballsy the hardware. Particularly if it's Win 7 and you are consequently downloading 200+ updates, in just the first batch.Also, depending on the OEM, you likely have tons of bloatware on the machine, much of it running at boot, hogging your CPU and RAM. And likely trying to update itself, as well. And every time you restore it to factory, all the bloat comes back, and all the updates have to start over. There are also several typical and possible hardware issues, some already mentioned. Thermal throttling and/or maybe a bad RAM stick (or one that just needs re-seated), possibly a few bad sectors on the HD, and others... All in all, there are MANY possible issues. I would start by dumping the OEM bloatware, get as few things running at boot as possible. Then either turn Windows Update off for a little while, just to test, or force-feed Windows updates until the point of Win 10 install. Then see how it performs. If it's still ugly, start looking at hardware.
