OH NO!

are you sure your laptop didn't got hacked? thats not a normal error screen as far as I'm aware.

Dont have network at home so I didt get hacked <x3

It could still be a virus of some sort. While most viruses get to work right away, some will wait for a specified time, event, user action, etc. Not only that, but some viruses are designed to infect USB sticks and spread that way.

Simply put, if you have EVER connected that laptop to the Internet, plugged in a USB stick, or ran a CD on it, it could have been infected long ago without you even knowing. Emphasis on "ever"; it wouldn't have to have been recently. (though it is typically something that reveals itself pretty quickly if it plans on ever doing so)

I know I'm just some guy on the Internet as far as you're concerned, but for what it's worth, I'm a Software Developer with 15+ years of experience, and as such know a lot about computers. No "real" error screen would ever look that ridiculous. The only time you see comically oversized big red all caps "ERROR" screens is when someone's making a joke, or someone just wants to fuck with you and is hoping you'll be scared/tricked into think "letters that big MUST be serious."

That does not look like a dead laptop to me, that looks like an application or some sort of malware.

Well when I start it up it says it needs repair window so this happens

Tbh - take it to someone who knows computers, i think that can be fixed.

Well i think my cousins dad will know something

Listen to this man

is it me or its missing a w key?

Oh it boken keyboard so I got usb keyboard <xD

It's all my fault :( I finally remember to watch you and 9 hours later this happens. I ruined one of my favorite artists! Why?!

Pam pam papam papapa pa pa papaam...

I'm not sure what that is but it does not look like a normal error. I wish I could be of help.

1) it doesn´t look like a rela error message, i am sure it is hacked
2) you should draw more on paper, looks cute

If you have your factory OS disk, pop it in and make sure to use boot selection forcing the CD. You should be able to launch a system restore from there.

The others are right on questioning this because in the worst case it should just be a black prompt screen with no input, or under standard conditions a BSOD/Error message with details.

Oh no! Sorry to hear ; - ;

oh no ;v;
RIP laptop ;v;

your drawing's adorable on paaper, btw :>

Well yea I should draw more on papers >▼<

do it! :> when you are free to! it looks amazingly cute haha! till then, i hope your laptop is repaired soon ;v;

1. I don't think that is a real message I think you have a serious Malware or Hack that has occurred. With that being said I highly recommend you take your PC to someone to look at and check not just the PC but also the Hard-Drive to check if there is something in there that is doing this. Because it can move through out the PC and store its self in the Hard-Drive if it is a Hacking Virus or a Powerful Malware.

2. Your paper drawings are absolutely adorable~

No need to get a new computer just install gentoo and you'll have a perfectly functional machine!

Seconding this, it's the only way to solve the infamous ERROR error as seen here.

This but I recommend Mint or Ubuntu instead of Gentoo because they're better for beginners.

Btw, I know the "Install Gentoo" meme.

That's fake error message so it's likely hacked or there's malware. Real error messages don't use that big font and usually have more information about the error.

Yeah, I'd take it to someone who can help. That message looks like malware. Like some here have said, that is no ordinary error message and it would include more information that that.

I don't think it's actually broken. For one thing error messages are never that big and will tell you the details of the problem.

But I would still recommend a new laptop anyway. If you want to play PC games you'll want Windows since Macs are very picky about what software you can install; I recommend Windows 7.

You'll want to look online to find a laptop powerful enough to suit your needs but cheap enough to stay in your budget range. Try looking for custom laptops. I go to a store called Microcenter that builds computers for you and had them put in the best hardware available at the time. It didn't cost me much either since they just kinda threw a bunch of good hardware into a heavyass tower.

Now I don't know if you have a Microcenter or something similar in your area but if you look on Google you can find a customizing service. Just don't go for the flashy shit like Alienware they'll intentionally throw in crap you don't need just to drive the price up.

But most important of all is that regardless of what kind of PC you want to get you must get an antivirus. I can't help you pick one since it's really about what you're comfortable with, I just recommend you don't get McAfee, it's garbage.

I don't think it's broken either. Looks like some malware or some other shit is on it. Try making a clean install of windows

error is fake. run some antivirus or reinstall operating operating system (nuke it from orbit approach)

I had a laptop die of a broken screen and a $400 repair quote... So I bought a new $400 laptop instead and transferred the CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, and Blu Ray drive from the old one ^_^

It's probably something else.

Yeap, 100% fake error.

Fake error. Probably a virus or hacking of some sort.

Why does this look like error.mdl from Source engine games?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm sorry......

This isn't an error message from any legitimate program.

Although the nonexistence of your W key... you may want to just get a new device ASAP anyway.

Dangit! BAKA PC!

4 years you've been using that garbage can -.- I told you to get a new one, but "nooo!" You said it's working all good, but look what happens when you keep tell me that, cousin.

I have never seen an error like that before.

To me, it looks like it's on, and running just fine. My recomendation would be to wipe the drive and reinstall windows. or use whatever restore options are available. but then you'd lose any work on it that isn't properly backed up.

If you planned to remove the drive and use it as a database to restore data on another computer, I would highler recomend you do not, having the whole drive visible to another computer just encourages whatever "fake error" malware that is to spread to the new computer.

This is his cousin
Both of us tried to reinstall the windows from disc, with no luck. That fake Error keep popping up whenever we reboot the laptop. We can't even go to the boot menu either.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc and see if you get a response.
If you do, find the rogue process and kill it! Then locate it using the tools listed below and purge it!

If no response, power off (not a reboot, hold power button until screen goes black), remove battery, wait 1 minute. This will allow RAM to clear and any components discharge.

Power up, and assuming you are running Windows XP, Vista or 7, mash the "F8" key on your keyboard after the BIOS logo and BEFORE the Windows Logo. If done correctly you will be presented with the option to boot into Safe Mode. Select that and boot into "Safe Mode" none of the other options.

Wait for Windows to load into Safe Mode and then log in as normal, the graphics will be messed up, this is because no drivers have been loaded so it's running in "Basic VGA Mode", this is normal.

Start "System Restore" and select the last known day your system was working and roll back to it.
PERSONAL DATA WILL NOT BE AFFECTED only software.

bobingabout is right, if this is malware, connecting that drive to any other Windows based computer will potentially infect it as well. Download "Linux Mint" and "burn" it to a DVD or write it to a USB stick using the application "Rufus" (All recommended software linked below)

If you can get the system back up, get a USB stick and put it in another computer, download the "Malware Bytes Anti-Malware" installer to it and then install it on the laptop. Opt out of the Trial on install then run a FULL SCAN.

Whilst that is running, remove the USB stick and insert it into a computer that is NOT BOOTED INTO WINDOWS (for instance booted into the Linux Mint instance) and then ERASE the USB stick using "Disk Utility" (Mac OS) or "GParted" (Linux/Mint). This will prevent infection if you use the USB stick again in the future.

Once MBAM has completed a scan you will have a rough idea where you stand.
That "ERROR" message you see is -fake- some kind of scareware/malware either designed to ruin your day, slow you down or just prank you is running in the background, the above should help you.

This is Red's cousin
We some how manage to go to the boot menu, but after we tried everything but we wipe out all the files inside the HDD. We also tried to install a new Windows 8.1 but it keep telling us something like this
http://www.vkernel.ro/blog/wp-conte.....Install-01.png

can you re-upload elsewhere, I do not have access to that site, I am sorry.

Sorry for a late respond.
It actually says "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log file." We can't even see where the log file is.

Sounds like the hard-drive has failed I am sorry to say.
Try running Linux mint off a USB stick or bootable CD and see if you can see the hard disk in "Gparted"

If not, check that the data and power leads inside the PC are snug (or, if it's a laptop, slide the drive out and then re-seat it to ensure all contacts are being made)
