Hi all
My 6 month old Packard bell laptop is acting up on me lately.
When typing, some letters don't register and I need to hit
the key again for them to appear. Ironic that it seems to have stopped doing this as I am typing this!! Well in gmail its a shambles.
I just did a scan and there are no viruses.
The other day it just went blank on me with the background light on
I had to cut the power to it, take the battery out and reboot.
I have windows 8. Don't know a whole pile about computers so any help
appreciated. I was going to take it back to the store tomorrow for them to have a look at it so if anyone has any ideas for me to try out beforehand that'd be cool.
I do get silly pop up messages about things to download to tidy the pc up.
Don't know if this is of any relevance

Cheers
