    1. Today I tried to installed a bit old game "Spiderman-3" in my lappy.

    Why it took so much time to installation Is there any problem in system.

    I'd try doing a clean install of Windows first, then trying to install your games again. If that doesn't help, then you may indeed be having some sort of hardware failure, though my guess would be more HDD related than GPU related.

    Thanks "Commander Wolf" waiting for ur reply

    1 More problem i faced recently

    Tried to take "Local Backup" (using 8GB USB/Pen drive) when it reaches upto 75% it stops (not proceed further). I tried it 4 times but the result were same.

    Is there any problem in Hardware/Lappy itself. Please guide.
