Laptop constantly breaks on me!

Avox

Hey

I've got a Samsung R530, and a lot of the times when I'm watching something online, the screen will freeze for a second, go black and then start making a really noisy buzzing sound. When it happens I have to turn it off, flip it back on and lose everything that was on the screen before it turned off. I recorded a video of it to show ye what it's like.. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

My guess would be the harddrive is banjaxed and it doesn't sound repairable. Replace the hard drive.
You'll need a USB harddrive caddy to copy your data from the old to the new.
If you're not confident in doing this kind of thing bring it to a professional.

Would it be safer just to buy a new one?

I'd advise asking here for a better laptop, as opposed to the PC World forum.

Sorry didn't know what to do.
