i realy need help with my toshiba qosmio x305-q701 please help me i really need it

so my laptop was running great and all that and it was running like a dream. then it turned into a nightmare. i dont know waht it is but it started when the cd drive would not open for anything. i tried everything from pushing the button like 4534958345 times, then i tried right clicking and ejecting and that didnt work, i tried everything from force restart to regular restart, and then i finally manually opened it with the manual open on the cd drive. then it was working fine from there. so then like 2 days later, every time i play a game like call of duty to like stronghold 2 it will lag after about 5 minutes and i dont know waht it is. the only games that dont im guessing is warhammer online or world of warcraft because they are straight on my hard drive. i erased a bunch of programs that i have never seen before, etc etc system restore and defragment, disk cleanup all that crap, and it still is not happening at all. now, im guessing that its something to do with the cd drive itself but the thing is i had problems with the cd drive before and i called tech support and there was a file i looked up in the search bar and i had to delete 2 files and when i did that it magically worked again. now im in iraq though so my internet is limited and i cant call 1800 numbers from here wich is so annoying. can someone please help me its ver important.

also when i hit the fn key it used to have a drop down menu from the top. idk what happened but that isnt happening anymore i think that has something to do with it. is there a link where i can talk directly to toshiba or can someone please help me fix this crap

 

First of all thank you for serving our country in Iraq and God Bless you and all the other troops there with you. Next do you have the recovery CD's ?? If so it may be easier just to restore the laptop back to factory default. I hope this helps.

 

i dont think the x301 comes with the recovery cd. so i would suggest reinstalling the os through the program that toshiba has on the computer. i dont know what it is off the top of my head, but its somewhere on the computer. if you need your files saved, save them first.

if that doesnt work, i dont know what you can do since your in iraq. if you thought it was your cd drive id suggest buying another cd drive to try it out.

 

and i will suggest 1 more thing since you do think it is your cd drive. when you play cod4, i know you need the cd for single player, but not for online, so does it lag online?

i would suggest going to gameburnworld.com. this will make it so you can play the game without having the cd in the drive. i use this to keep my cd's from getting scratched. the file is only max 5 mb so you should be able to download it.

i hope i wont get banned from this, but i dont think this is wrong, especially for the reason i use it for and the reason dragon will use it for as well.

this should for sure help, because it doesnt need the disk to play the game, its right off your had drive.

EDIT: here is the link for call of duty 4. download depending on which one you have (version wise) i have 1.7 but only because i updated. http://www.gameburnworld.com/gp/gamefixes/callofduty4modernwarfare.shtml
