Ah! None.

So a software problem?

Two years? Time to reinstall windows from scratch, if you can do a low level format on the HDD even better. Make sure you have all your drivers on a cd or memory stic, and make sure you got all your licence keys written down before you start.

Possibly, and IMO more likely, but before proceeding with a reinstall it's worth running some hardware diagnostics to check. There's likely to be a diagnostics utility in a hidden partition of the hard drive. Post the full model number of the laptop and should be able to find how to access it if it exists (usually by pressing one of the keys (F1 - F12) along top of keyboard during boot up, just need to find out which one)

It's a Presario CQ61.

Power on the laptop. Immediately press the ESC key to bring up a menu. Press F2 to access the UEFI System Diagnostics
