It was working perfectly, then when I switched on yesterday, that's all it said. I've checked all the leads - everything is connected as it should be, lights come on as normal, computer's humming happily to itself... It's not on warranty so I'm hoping I can fix it myself - can you suggest anything please? Thanks!

I am looking for a new laptop for when I graduate college and dont mind spending the extra bucks for either of these two top of the line brands. These companies used to be the best but lately I have been hearing some bad news.
Alienware has been aquired by Dell and even though all the management is still Alienware the service and such has gone down the hill. Dell has been riddled with accounting frauds, battery recalls and very poor service.
HP has aquired Voodoo PC and ever since then I have hear the quality has gone down hill also. Ever since HP was lead by that woman it has gone down hill but recently she was kicked out of leadership because of her actions and HP still isnt good at all.
I have looked up to both of these companies and now Im heartbroken to find that they allied with Dell and HP and stooped down to that level
I dont know where to go for a top quality laptop now. Can anyone shed some light on my situation? Thank you

I have a pretty nice laptop that I use for business and it has software related to it.

My kids have some games that they have been wanting to play. Rather then purchase a new computer, I thought I could just buy another hard drive, load an OS, install games.

When the kids want to play games, I would just swap my business hard drive for their games hard drive.

Is this the best way of doing this or is it possible to connect an external hard drive via usb and boot from it rather then the internal drive?

Thank you
