Hey all...gotta BIT of a weird thing going on with my Laptop...

Its an Advent 7094 laptop...

The pc works absolutly fine, no problems, untill i start to type, then every so often whilst im TYPING the screen shuts of and goes black, the computer starts clicking like its doing somehthing,, then like 10 -15 seconds later the screen comes back to life and the thing is working fine, but the word that i just wrote will be messed up, like it re arranges the order of letters.

Then ill carry on typing and it will do it again!...its rather annoying.....
Recently ive starting to USE another screen, so ive got multiscreens, but when the thing does this black screen malarky, when it comes back to life it STOPS sending a signal to my second monitor, and i have to go back into settings to set it up again.

As im writing this its done this about 3 times, and the last time it now thinks that my 2nd monitor is the real one and the actual laptop screen has gone dead!

You see the problem and annoyance!
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
CheersWhen did this start happening?

Does it still happen in Safe Mode

What about the clicks, what kind of clicks are they?Its been doing this for a long time, but ive just started to get really really annoyed with it!

I havnt tried it in safe mode as the computer works fine apar from these black outs.

The clicks are the same as if you tried to open word or something, they are loading type clicks.

Ive used spybot to get rid of any malware or spyware incase that was the problem and its still doing itClicks as in....from the Hard Drive?i guess so...
its just your normal loading type clicking...As long as they're not Loud and at regular intervals? Can you try in safe mode?

FBYeah, see how it is in Safe Mode.

Clicking from Hard Drive.....Must be pretty old. Quote from: Teflon_83 on October 14, 2008, 04:18:09 AM
