1. Frequent Crashes and Freezes
If your laptop crashes multiple times a day or freezes during normal use, it could indicate hardware failure, overheating, or corrupted system files.
2. Strange Noises
Clicking, grinding, or whirring sounds often mean your hard drive is failing. Back up your data immediately and get it checked.
3. Overheating Issues
If your laptop gets too hot to touch or shuts down unexpectedly, the cooling system might be clogged with dust or the thermal paste needs replacement.
4. Battery Dies Too Quickly
A battery that drains in under 2 hours (when it used to last 5+) needs replacement. We can install genuine batteries at Planet Computers.
5. Screen Issues
Flickering, lines, dead pixels, or dim displays suggest LCD or cable problems. Don't wait—screen damage can worsen quickly.
