Just after others opinions on a laptop i'm working on.
Working on a friends laptop. Its a hp pavilion dv6-1207ax.
It would boot up then say boot device not found or bsod with 0x000000007b error before it got tot he splash screen.
I have taking the hard drive out and plugged into mine using a usbtosata adapter and taking any data off that was needed.
Know when i turn it on it will load fine and get to desktop but after 5 minutes or so it will either bsod with 0x00000000f4 error or else it will just restart. When this happens it will give the first two errors i had.
From what I've read and tests I've done i conclude the harddrive is failing. I can replace this and reinstall os etc.
My thoughts i'd like others opinions on is this - If I replace harddrive, could something else be faulty also and therefore still cause problems?
It is running windows vista, with 4gb of ram, and when i can get to that 5 minutes of desktop it does running slow as.
Would it just be better to get a new laptop for the long run or replace harddrive.
