Okay so heres the problem: Whenever I turn the laptop on it loads the Dell Inspiron Logo, but then it goes straight to "Windows Error Recovery", then if I choose either Launch Startup Repair, or Start Windows Normally, it freezes at the Dell "Microsoft Operation" part then takes me to a 640 x 480 screen, unlike the normal 800 x 960 pixel screen, and won't show anything but a my desktop background and a mouse pointer.

My system Specs: Dell Inspiron N4010

I've had this Laptop for not even a year, maybe 4 months, and all of a sudden its messed up already.

Many Thanks for any information or slight help you could give.

Hi Nasuska

It is possible that either the HDD is bad or the OS has become damaged/corrupt.

I've had this Laptop for not even a year, maybe 4 months, and all of a sudden its messed up already.

If this has happened for no apparent reason consider returning the N4010 under warranty.
Do you have the OS or recovery disk/s that may have been provided with the N4010?
