Alright, I'm getting nowhere with my computer. Here's my laptop's 'symptoms'.
- When I open a browser/app/program/window, it likes to close them on its own
- When updating/verifying files/etc, the thing will crash.
- Occasionally breaks by turning screen to black, save for some random coloured pixels. Can still move mouse, will alternate between being over/under the colours. Will sometimes randomly colour the pixels and keep rest of desktop visible. Will stay in either of these states nearly indefinitely, hardly ever crashes to blue screen when like this, any attempt to turn of pc normally isn't effective, can only hard close the computer by holding the off button.
- Will sometimes uninstall and remove apps on its own (typically Content Manager for AC)
- Frequently bluescreens, sometimes without me doing anything at all
- Even the startup loading screen thing will be laggy (can tell because dot wheel thing is very slow and jumpy)
- Minor thing, probably nothing: when turning computer off normally (a miracle), very often it will show an app or something solely called 'G' as preventing shutdown. Doesn't hold it up entirely, just odd.
Mentioned some of this in Assetto Corsa forum and they recommended I update drivers. Computer does recognise it needs an update, but when I do this it will start doing the second point I mentioned.
Mother, knowing I keep a lot of data on my laptop, is convinced all I need to do is make some space. I have been doing this, but often it will help only very slightly.
Lenovo Ideapad 300, Nvidia Geforce GTX, Intel i5+ cores, Windows 10, had for maybe two years now?
I'm getting to the breaking point with this thing. I know that holding the power button so often is killing it, but often I have no choice but to do that, otherwise the bastard will sit around doing nothing for the rest of time.
Someone help me out here. I don't know how, just... help.
