The only icon on it right now is the recycle bin, and the background is pitch black. And not only that, It keeps poping up errors about the hard drive! I'm afraid this thing is toast one day. I'm no expert, but this is bad. Any ideas?

That is BAD. It's the built-in software to the hard drive, SMART, letting you know your hard drive is about to shit the bed and you need to backup everything. DO IT NOW, STOP POSTING AND DO THIS NOW! THIS HAPPENED TO ME!!!

I had a scare the other day. The computer didn't go into sleep mode the right way when I put it in my bag, leading it to overheat. It wouldn't get past the ASUS splash when booting up.
I had to take out the hard drive and reconnect it for some reason, and now it is as if nothing happened. Needless to say, I immediately backed everything up. I bought an external a month ago for that very purpose and never got around to it.

You could have been caught in deep hot crap if you didn't know what to do. The only other way you knew your hard drive was going to die, besides the graphical errors, was for everything to freeze completely. That would have been really bad, but in the meantime, enjoy the fact that you got out of a jam! |
