How is the computer behaving now ?
I don’t think the computer has randomly shut down today. Were you able to find out what the problem was? Also, is there any other software I can run or do something to clean out the computer or get rid out potential malware? Or anything in general to get the laptop to run as smooth as possible.
Thank you very much for your help.
Basically I just tidied it up… What problems are you experiencing ?
For instance, when I try to watch videos off some website it keeps on loading/lagging. Also, sometimes a website will keep on loading and loading. And the browers sometimes randomly says “not responding” . Quick question - Im thinking maybe I should restart the whole system. But I was wondering what would happen to the songs on my ipod. Would it be possible to transfer songs from the ipod to the new itunes? Thank you
Initially I would update windows to 8.1, that may resolve some of the problems
Ok. Also, my laptop shuts down on its own and when I turn it back on it says “There was a problem so the computer had to shut down” Would the update help that?
When I try to update to Windows 8.1, I get this message: “windows is getting your 8.1 upgrade ready you will automatically be prompted to install windows 8.1 soon”.
Direct download 8.1 from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42327
Thank you. The direct link gave me some options to choose from. I chose this one: Windows 8.1 Update (KB2919355). Is that correct?
Ok so I downloaded the update, however, it doesnt work and the window installer says “The update is not applicable to your computer”
For some reason I gave you the 32 bit link, sorry , here is the 64 bit
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42335
Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu
For some reason, it still wont work. I get “Windows Update standalone installer error: 0x8007000d. The data is invalid”
Could you follow the steps here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/windows-update-error-0x8007000d
No, I followed the instructions and did this: “KB2919442 is a prerequisite for Windows 8.1 Update and should be installed before attempting to install KB2919355” But when I run it, its says" Update not applicable to your computer"
