Startup of laptop

This error means the operating system on the hard disk couldn't load due to possible faulty hard drive or disk controller. The fault could also mean the hard drive needs reseating to make proper connection. Reseat the hard drive and if you still get this error, then you need to determine if the disk controller is faulty.
To do this, remove the hard drive and connect it to an USB hard drive adapter and plug it into a working computer's USB port. If this computer see this hard drive as an external drive and you can also see the contents of the drive, then the hard drive is OK and the fault is a faulty disk controller. If the computer cannot detect the hard drive then the hard drive is faulty.
Then get a new hard drive insert it into youe laptop and install Windows to get your laptop operational.

How do I get my laptop to play dvds again it won t work

When you say play DVDs you mean watch DVD movies? Assuming the drive is not broken you need to use the DVD app. You could use VLC Player which you can download. It's an orange traffic cone icon.

My laptop after being turned on a blue screen appears and then shuts down

There are many reasons this can be happening. Try starting the computer in Safe Mode with Networking and see if the problem still exists. If not that means there's a problem with the start up boot process. Questions to consider: How old is the machine? Have you done all your updates? Possible virus. What exactly does the Blue Screen read? Is it a quick blue screen then restarts or does the blue screen stays? We are computer service company that offers remote free diagnosis.

Reset to factory settings

Did your computer come with a recovery disc, Windows disc or have you create a recovery set of discs? If after reading all of this you find yourself overwhelmed or unwilling to try, take it to a shop. Another option to the below copied from the Help section to reach the Recovery would be to open the Control Panel. If Category view, under System and Security, select Back up your computer, then Recover system settings, **Then Advanced recovery methods. If in Icon view, select Recovery and you will be at the ** above. There's where the discs above will come into play. If.you don't have any of those, you will have to hope they have a hidden partition on the drive containing the recovery which will either show itself there or in the F8 process below.. To open the System Recovery Options menu on your computer 1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer using the computer's power button. 2. Do one of the following: *If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer. *If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8. 3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn't listed as an option, then your computer doesn't include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.) 4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next. 5. On the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.
