Progression of things happened. My USB ports were having problems. Not recognize ptinter cable. Then sometimes wireless mouse. Then monkey with it and finally work. I would type, screen would go nuts scroll up and down. Over last 2 months problems. Yesterday would not boot. Blue screen with /BCD error. Pressed Esc dot into DOS screen to try and get boot...did not boot. So I googled on phone what to do. They said Hold Power Key and F9 and that worked, got it to boot. Got on MSN and internet.
The other problem was would not Shut Down right for weeks. Click shut down...would start the process but not Power Off. Had to hold Power button and force complete shut down. Then recently it would just reboot itself.
We decided to go buy new laptop. Off to Staples today and see what they have.
