Hello,
I'm having some trouble with my laptop/windows 8.1. This morning, everything was fine up until I had to put it to sleep for a little while. After I returned, the laptop would not boot.
I initially thought that the fan was at fault as it didn't spin, but after cleaning the fan and having it work correctly, it became stuck on the start-up screen (Lenovo Screen with only the Lenovo logo showing). I then tested the RAM, and it seems that one of the slots does not read the RAM sticks.
Despite that, I stuck one of the sticks in the slot that does read the RAM, but now the Lenovo screen show the log and is only showing "Preparing Automatic Repair".
Can someone help or let me know what's going on?
I've got some files in there, and I hope there is still a chance to recover them! :(
Thank you!
Edit: I left the comPuter on overnight, which then said something along the lines of system trying recover but was not successful. It then gave me an option to restart to see if it goes away or to go to advanced options. Not thinking about it I restarted and left for an hour. When I came back it had booted normally and was on the desktop. I thought that it had fixed itself and turned off the computer (before doing that I check the ram and saw that the conmputer was reading all 8gb of ram I have in). I forgot to send an email to a freind of mine and had to boot it up only to find a similar screen to the first one I encountered (without the automatic repair).
