If you have Bitdefender installed that's OK.  Thought you had something else. 

 

Your temps are too high.  What happens on a laptop is the interface between the heatsink and the fan gets clogged with dust.  This reduces air flow and let's it get hot.  On some laptops it's easy to get to the fan and remove it (not the heatsink or heatpipe - removing either requires new thermal paste) so you can remove the dust from the heatsink.  On other's it's major surgery.  Some of the HP's require you to remove the motherboard to get to the fan.  Dells often have an access hatch.  Google your laptop's part number and you will usually find a video showing how to take it apart.  If blowing air backwards through the air vents or sucking with a vacuum cleaner on the air intake doesn't help you can sometimes get some relief with a laptop cooler tray.  Hot components make errors and fail sooner.

 

I see this error:

 

Log: 'System' Date/Time: 09/12/2018 08:54:46
Type: Warning Category: 0
Event: 153 Source: Disk
The IO operation at logical block address 0x761f00 for Disk 0 (PDO name: \Device\00000034) was retried.

 

This could indicate a failing hard drive, bad connector (reseat hard drive), bad ram, bad motherboard or it might just be a heat related error. 

 

I would run a  disk check

https://www.thewindo...cking-windows-8

and a memory check:

https://www.windowsc...lems-windows-10

 

Your Netgear software is not working correctly and needs to be reinstalled.  Ditto the Trusteer Raport

[joecool90]

Thanks for the latest advice. Nothing came through for the disk and memory check, both were fine. I've also just uninstalled the Netgear and Trusteer software.

 

I think you're right, the original cause is likely due to heat. I'll have a go at removing all the dust next week.

 

Is there anything else you would advise now? Otherwise is this sorted?

[RKinner]

Probably it's just heat.  That can cause a lot of strange symptoms.  When you boot into Safe Mode a lot of stuff doesn't run so it probably runs a bit cooler.  Make sure you run on a flat hard surface.  Leaving it on a bed or even your lap can block the air intakes on the bottom.  It also helps to prop up the the back of the laptop (without blocking the  vents).  Heat rises and the heatsink and exhaust vent are usually in the back so this helps heat flow.

 

You might check your hard drive maker's website.  Most of them have software you can download to test your hard drive.  The extended or long test is the best.  IF that passes then your drive is good.  Come to think of it there is a hard drive test in speedfan:

 

click on the S.M.A.R.T. tab.  Click on the down arrow to the right of the Hard Disk box.  Select your hard drive.  Click on Perform an In-depth Online Analysis of this hard disk.  Your browser will open.

At the bottom of the new page will be a line:  

The link to get back and see a new report about this hard disk in the future is this.

Right click on the underlined "this" and select Copy Link Address.  Move to a Reply and Paste (Ctrl + v).

 

That just quickly checks the S M A R T info which will show us if the drive is mostly healthy.

Hi thanks for your patience. I gave in and gave my laptop to a laptop specialist to look at. Seems the main culprit was bad hard disk sectors, rather than heat issue. There was only a little bit of dust inside. Currently my laptop is going through complete reformat and having Windows 10 installed again.

I'm not convinced that a reformat will fix the problem for long.  Sounds to me like the hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced. 

 

Also dust is not the only cause of overheating.  The thermal pads on the heatsink/heatpipe  sometimes dry out and need to be removed and replaced with new thermal paste.  That's not as common as it used to be but it still happens.

Ok my IT guy says that my laptop works ok with Windows 8 and basic display driver, but doesn't work with Windows 10 and any display driver otherwise it gets black screen again. So looks like my laptop is on the way out and will be buying new laptop soon.

[RKinner]

Not sure I believe that.  There's very little difference between 8 and 10.  Don't suppose you are in Florida?  I'd like to look at it.

[joecool90]

So unfortunately the black screen issue affects Windows 8 as well. I'm based in UK so you can't see my laptop unfortunately. ☹️ I'll just buy a new one

Perhaps you could just have them load Win 7 on it?
