Here are my laptop issues.
My model is a Lenovo Z580 on Windows 8. Have had it for six years w/o major issues, until I got it back from the repairman back in mid-December to get some casing parts replaced.
1. Randomly shuts off on a charged battery. Seems to randomly shut off every couple of days. As a result, I have been to afraid to save anything to my external HD for the past month.
2. When power button is pressed to start laptop, a black screen comes up instead of my password screensaver. This is fixed by turning it on and off again.
3. Try to run auto maintenance in action center: about twenty minutes in, the laptop freezes.
4. Try to play Jedi Outcast, never had a problem, before. Today, the computer crashed TWICE while playing. Usually, some game programs would crash, but never the whole laptop.
5. Have sometimes had a blue screen with a frowny emoticon pop up. I'm not sure if this is THE blue screen of death, as it has only happened about three times and I have always gotten out of it by shutting off my laptop and turning it back on.
So, anything I can do to fix my beloved Lenovo, or is it finally time for me to buy a new laptop?
