Hello,
First problem:
I have a desktop computer running windows 8... And recently while logged in to my user account, at random I got a DOS screen stating something along the lines of "failed to find boot disk or disk has failed". I've also noticed a lag in the system when starting up. It does this constantly now, probably can stay on for about 5 minutes if I'm lucky without giving that error message.
I reset windows 8, deleting all my files, hoping maybe it was a registry issue, but still no luck, it seems to have improved, but only to get the same message again. (Maybe with a clean hard drive after resetting windows, there is less stress on the drive so it lasts a little longer?). I'm thinking the drive is dying, and replacing the drive should fix it, is this the case? Or is this a software issue I should be aware of?
Second problem:
I have an HP eMachines laptop, but the screen is nothing but vertical and horizontal colored lines. When connected to an external display, it works perfectly. I believe it is a cable issue, however, I don't know for sure. Does anyone happen to know what might cause this issue? I have opened the laptop and disconnected/reconnected the LCD but still no luck. Here are some screenshots of what the screen looks like, any help with either issue is greatly appreciated!
