A friend of mine asked me to have a look at her laptop because of my uber h/w skills!
Thing is im not very up on my h/w related issues, but shes a friend so i told her i would have a look at it to see what i could do.

She then produced a list of issues, as follows (in her own words):

- Floppy drive sometimes doesn't save, computer then stalls and crashes
- Laptop has been put back to factory settings twice
- Laptop crashes when there is lots of work being done
- Lines on screen fixed last Oct/Nov, computer crashing since, especially floppy drive

So thats it guys!
I havent had a proper look at it yet but it seems like this baby is a bit worse for wear!

Anybody any ideas as what the underlying problem(s) is?

Thanks in advance
