                  Sounds like a hard drive to us also. You might want to invest in an external HD when you replace that one.

                                  Yes they are unless you count them stealing your porn as work.

                                      Check your laptop manual to see if there's some way to jump into the BIOS and change settings. It's not usually obvious like it is with a desktop PC (eg "hit del to enter setup") and some laptops may not have a setup screen at all.

                                          Either your hard drive or your OS. See if you can get into safe mode - F8 while the laptop loads up.

                                          Most older laptops don't allow you to boot from an external hard drive, but if it's newish, you should be able to. The thumbdrive craze made motherboard manufacturers adapt.

                                              How old is the laptop?

                                              Try replacing the CPU battery

                                                      It's GFY Squad to the rescue.

                                                      Hope you get it worked out.

                                                          Might be low on processor fluid. Check the levels..
