It also seems that the computer starts or perhaps might there be a problem with the hard drive to pause the cause?

    Could you provide your system specifications?

    Scan your computer for viruses:

    If the problem persists, check your memory, could be faulty:

    It runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
    confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours, so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • L540 Windows 10. Plugged in, not charging, then the pc stops. Cannot start.

    Brand new L540.
    Windows 10 fresh install, not improved versions of other windows.

    The Lenovo system update is installed and installed all the drivers (Intel Wireless Lan driver).

    When the charger is plugged in, the screen blinks several times, it says plugged in, no charging current. Then the laptop stops. When you try to start windows again, the laptop stops immediately after the windows 10.

    Unplug the charger and the laptop starts and works very well.
    The battery can recharge very well when the laptop is turned off.
    If the battery is 100% laptop works very well with the charger connected.

    Basically, the laptop works fine, except when you try to charge the battery then in windows 10. This causes a stop.

    I tried the solutions previously suggested to stop and remove the battery, nothing works.

    Motherboard replaced by service of Lenovo.

    When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.

    Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.

    Bruce:

    The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

    When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

    I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

    I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

    Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

    Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

    Thanks again,

    Hello

    What the popup say or lead?

    Search for malware, and then run the cleaning as described below.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.
