Having some problems with my laptop. Often when I turn it on I get the Intel screen and the bar at the bottom goes just over half way and freezes. Turning off the laptop is the only way I can get past this, but sometimes that doesn't work so I have to take the battery out then turning it back on again. I'm running Vista and when I get to my desktop, it often installs new drivers - despite me not having installed any new software or put in new devices. Here's the details: laptop: Advent 7113 Intel Celeron M430 1.72 GHz OS: Vista One of the names of the drivers is: DFDBW SOSG-(3#S ATA Device I'm guessing this is something to do with a virus. I'm only using Windows defender and havging run scans using it over the past few days it says there's no viruses. Anyone able to help?
