You will need to individually install the drivers from the Lenova website.

You will need to go to the Lenovo website and grab the drivers you are missing.

Download and run "Driverpack Solution" it is at Version 13, free and I have not had not problems when finding obscure drivers while using it. You will also need to download the microsoft Dot net framework program from the microsoft website.

You turned on your laptop and horrors upon horrors, the screen is BLACK! You see that the laptop has power but besides that nothing is happening. I want you to know that there is a very good chance you can get out of this situation quickly and without any cost. This fix works on all brands of laptops: • 1) TAKE OUT YOUR LAPTOP BATTERY • 2) REMOVE YOUR AC ADAPTOR CORD, that's the wall power, remove it. • 3) NOW HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON FOR 30 SECONDS That will drain any static electricity that has built up on your laptop system board and many times fixes the problem of a black screen. After the 30 seconds re-connect your laptop to the wall power and hit the power button normally and see if the laptop comes back up. Replace your battery.

Have you tried reseting or restoring defaults by going to tools>internet options>advanced?

Your computer system is getting too hot.

When you don't run videos your computer is running in 2D mode, very little rendering is taking place therefore less heat output.

Then when you want to watch a video the graphics unit has to work hard and therefore produces heat. That heat needs to be effectively removed from the chassis in order for the computer system perform well.
Your computer may need a clean, remove all dust blocking air intake/exhaust areas.

Also go through my guide entitled How to install Graphics Drivers, Nvidia and AMD Radeon!!! as you may need better more efficient drivers for your graphics card.
Consult the manual in this regard for the graphics card model number or name!

The beeping either indicates overheating or low/unstable power to the computer system from the power supply!

Thanking you

Try to re-install 2 Operating systems use this order,
1,Install windows XP by booting the XP cd,
2,and then install Win 7 by booting from Win 7 cd.
Then while you restart computer there will be a prompt menu asking to select OS to start. Thanks

You can either download the drivers from Lenovo's website, possibly with another computer if your computer is not able, or you can order another CD from Lenovo.

I've seen this caused from viruses, shorted keyboard connection wires, bad PS2 ports, and keyboards going bad. Try another keyboard first.

Try setting the time and date in the bios, also check to see if the jumper setting on the back of the drive is set to master and reinsert it to 1st opt.

Try another power supply. Most of the bus is robust enought to handle the current draw but will blow the power supply quickly.
You can get a power supply tester off ebay pretty cheap too.
If you can get your hands on another ATX type power supply, only plug the motherboard plug(s), and maybe the hard drive (without mounting the power supply) and test it.

You need to got START, then CONTROL PANEL then USER ACCOUNTS and remove the password under the person you are login in as. You might have to log in as ADMINISTRATOR to edit the USER ACCOUNT settings.

MAKE SURE THE CORDS THAT ARE COONECTED ON THE BACK ARE.
