Hi, One thing you can try is test the memory. 1. locate the flap on the back of the laptop 2. unscrew this. locate the memory modules. 3. carefully remove one of the memory modules 4. place this somewhere safe - static free (not on the carpet!) 5. try and boot again 6. if this doesnt work...

Prostar is right, for what you want any laptop would do. You could even buy a used one and put Linux on it and still do your programming. Save you some $$. I have had good experience with HP laptops - business class, nice solid feel waterproof keyboards, good security at bios and metal housed...

Intel i7 with 4600 GPU - everything else (pc parts that is) is just gravy. The games you state I would imagine would run well on this as they are not the top bleeding edge games. Makes: Alienware, HP (for well built business class laptops). I'm sure others could help you out here as I'm not much...

really,... just head over to malwarebytes and wait your turn. Having multiple people try and fix your pc will most likely make things worse, that is unless Kotomi W is going to hang around for the duration (No offense Kotomi W - I just know how bad it is when your pc goes tits up like this and...

Also, since you will be typing on it a lot you be best to check out the different keyboards. Chicklet style keyboards are...

Personally i would keep the laptop, look into how much a replacement trackpad is and if the laptop is sluggish, check out some live distributions of linux. You don't have to install them, they just run from a bootable cd/dvd usb or sd card. I wouldn't spend much more on it though. With your...

If I were you, and you have access to another computer and the internet, head over to Malwarebytes forum. They have 'helpers' that take on clients in a one-to-one basis. It's the type of service you would normally pay quite a bit for but it's free although you can donate via paypal and of course...
