Over the last few days I have been having problems with my laptop. It went from being fast to now being very slow, and I keep getting the blue screen. I did the few things that I actually know. I even went so far as purchasing one of those PC cleaner programs. Nothing has worked.
I went to Staples to see what it would cost to fix. The guy opened it up and did a few things. He came to the conclusion that the hard drive is most likely bad. He said that it would cost $79.99 for a full diagnostic, then if it was the hard drive, probably another $150 to fix it. If it was just the RAM that was bad (he took out half the RAM, and that was not the problem) that would be a little bit cheaper...
Remember, I purchased the computer for $350. To me, it makes absolutely no sense to spend $200 or more to fix my computer, when I could probably just buy a new one.
I do not know what to do, someone give me some advice here. Also, what would be the easiest way to save the majority of the stuff on my hard drive? I have a feeling that anything long and complex will not work, since my computer will crash before I get the chance to do it.
