F2 system setup
Look for hard drive properties in the bios.
however, if she did right, she password protected the bios.

the thermal compound dose not dry up. On pcs that are made via skill of dell and HP each and all of the extensive boys, they use extremely crappy factors like heat temperature sink and thermal compound. whilst the CPU heats up then the compound will soften and all could be useful. Its defently not over heating. It has some difficulty to do with homestead homestead windows. I want you're arranged to have recommended us what the BIOS scree says, if its giveing you any errors or any ingredient like that. you're arranged to need to get the homestead homestead windows disk that it have been given right here with and run a fix or a fix. you would be able to all so boot it into threat-unfastened mode. All pcs are different so I cant tell whilst to press it so whilst your laptop activates the shop hitting F8 till ultimately a reveal reveal pops up. Then flow into threat-unfastened mode and notice if homestead homestead windows boots up. If it dose restart it and be sure out to do it without threat-unfastened mode. in case you will get into threat-unfastened mode then you definately would fix you mothers laptop to each and each week in the previous it grew to alter into into haveing themes.

Hey Dude,
Get a new gf!
Does it take a long time to get through? Is it asking you for a password?
Two things. She may have removed the hard drive OR she indeed may have put a password on it.
Either way, she better have a pretty GREAT surprise, or dump her! She sounds like the type that will take your dog to get neutered.
If she locked it, you can call Dell and they will walk you through a recovery process.

go into safemode
hit on start >all programs >accessories

then the next day create a new system restore point from then on
