Hey there,

It's my first time here on this forum, and I must say, a big THANKS for all those who read this.

Alright, here is the breakdown of my computer. I have an Asus G73 XN1 gaming laptop running an Intel i7 740QM with 8GB RAM, 500GB hard-drive, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M; Its also running Windows 7 Ultimate (64x).

One day it just randomly hung up. no visible BSOD, it just hangs... nothing responds, no movement; NOTHING. Ctrl + Alt + Del doesnt do anything, and the only way to get it off is press and hold the power and force it off...

I haven't gotten any error messages, and I'm honestly not sure what can be done (short of a complete HD wipe)

HELP!?

Thanks again

well that could be any thing to bad files on the OS to a hard ware problem hopefully thats not it but yeah you dont have to completely wipe your hard drive if you just reinstall it and dont press reformat all your data will still be on your hard drive in .oldwin file
