  • Lenovo crashed, won't start back up?

    Hi, so I've had my Lenovo K450E with an i5 processor for about 5 months now and it said there was a windows update that needed to be installed. This was about the 3rd time I've seen this and it worked before so I decided to Update and Restart. However, upon doing so, I was confronted with the "BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO" screen. I allowed it try and restart twice, and on the second try, it offered to let me Restore System. I did so, but now it's just stuck on a black screen that says "Lenovo" across it. There is no wheel spinning or anything, it's just frozen. I haven't downloaded anything recently on it so the fact that this happened out of the blue is very frustrating. I don't have a Windows Media disk or anything and I can't seem to restart it using the power button. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do. Any help is appreciated!

  • Car radiator maintenance cost?

    I own a 2000 Ford Explorer with a 5.0L V8 and I recently had to add water to my coolant reservoir (i was in a pinch). I now have coolant but I am unable to find the drain valve. If i were to take it to a repair shop, how much would it cost for them to flush the water out so I can put the new coolant in? I'm worried that my car will overheat on my way there or back without being able to pay for the service (currently low on $$)

  • Minecraft question about The End.?

    So, I activated my end portal and I guessed I slipped and fell in because walked close to it without intending to enter. I punched my way through End Stone because I didn't have a pickaxe but I did have my bow and arrow. I took out a good number of the towers (there were only about 2 left) and ultimately, got my *** beat when the dragon launched me across the End into the abyss. I was wondering if the towers respawn after I die? They weren't that difficult to get rid of but I would just like to be prepared for next time.

    Thank you to anyone who helps!

  • Math question dealing with Angular speed???

    I was given a question that i can't get the right answer to. I am given the linear speed, v= 200 miles per hour, and the diameter of 58 feet (which i'm fairly certain radius is 29 feet). With v and r I'm supposed to find w (angular speed). I'm guessing I have to use the formula w=v/r.

    This is my step process:

    w= v/r

    w= 200mph/29ft

    w= 200(5280)fph/29ft

    w= 105600 fph/29ft

    w= 17600 fps/29ft

    - This is when i realize I did something wrong but i dont know what it is.

    The answer in the back of the book says its 10.11 rad/sec or 1.6 rot/sec and I have no idea how they got that.

    Thank you!!

  • Would this work as a poem?

    I have to write a poem for my english class and my grade is dependent on how well I do. I'm not very good at writing poems so I'm looking for some critique. Please offer suggestion on word changes, structure, or anything else you see fit.

    You will always be my father, and

    Without you I would never have been here,

    Yet, here I am

    You always said you loved me but,

    How was I supposed to know?

    12 years ago you disappeared

    Into the darkness, leaving us all alone

    You had thrown our family away

    And thought it would all be okay

    Thinking it would be alright, my god

    You've never been so wrong

    Tell me, what did you get from the pain you caused?

    I truly hope it was worth it

    You dictate my life from miles away

    I don't know who you think you are

    You are nothing more than a coward to me

    Threatening me with power you think you have

    You treat me like a child treats a toy

    Ready to be used and tossed aside

    At the flick of your wrist

    That is not who I am, but I guess you wouldn't know

    You will always be my father

    But I hope you understand

    It's your fault that I'll never know

    What that means.

    Thank you so much for anyone who helps!!

  • Bioshock Achievements?

    Do Bioshock achievements progress carry over through different campaign files? Or do you have to get all of the requirements in one play-through. For example, one achievement says to invent 100 items (or something like that). Does it accumulate? or does it reset when you start a new campaign?

  • Need help writing a book?

    I am thinking of writing a book. I have tried several times in the past but they always come out very childish and i always try my hardest to make it sound more mature, I guess would be the word. I feel like the problem is mostly in my wording or maybe my rapid story progression. My most recent idea would be a fictional journal of a refugee in before, during and possibly after nuclear war has begun between the powers of the world (US, China, Russia, Japan, etc.) I was hoping someone would be able to help me write a better novel that would be more intriguing to read. I am currently 18 years old and I really want to make a book that people will enjoy.

    Thank you to anyone who helps!

  • Please help! relationship advice?

    I've been with my girlfriend for about 14 months now. Before we met, she did a lot of stuff that i really don't approve of (drinking, smoking, and hooked up with a lot of people). She hasn't done that very much, since we have been together. She did but she at least had the decency to tell me. I really don't like it when she talks about that stuff but she does it anyway. I keep telling her to stop but she doesn't listen. Whenever she is around her friends it seems like it's all she can talk about.

    Does anyone have any tips on how to get her to stop or how to make my feelings go away?

    Side note: The most i've smoked/drank was i tried weed once and hated it, tried a cig once and hated it, and i've had about 5 beers in my entire life and only 2 girlfriends and i've kissed about 4 girls. I really appreciate it to anyone who can help!
