Transferring Files From Old Beeping Laptop to New Laptop Question

Old laptop is asus u45jc-a1. New laptop i bought is a sager laptop. My asus laptop has lot of problems. First off, when connected to a monitor, monitor would go to sleep or power save depending on the type of monitor. I had thought this was a monitor issue until i saw this was with several monitors so issue is my laptop. Someone mentioned its the driver but when i downloaded the driver online, computer always had black screen after installing it and i had to system restore it every time.


Besides that, there is a constant beeping sound with the laptop. If i have the laptop on for say 10 hours, iit probably beeps at least 100 times at least an hour. It would beep beep beep every few seconds. You might even hear 20 beeps in 1 minute. Sometimes it doesn't beat for 30 minutes or so but then go back on beeping. Someone said this either has to do with motherboard or ram.


First off, how would i know which is it? Also i do plan to do a clean resintall as well. Is there a chance if i do the clean reinstall, the beeping problem would go away or absolutely not?


Back to my original question though... i would like to transfer a database from old computer to the new sager one. I mainly play online poker and use this program called holdem manager that has all the hands i played and i could transfer it to the new laptop but doing a backup and restore. Thus i would have that file put it on box.com, then transfer it to the new laptop. I know many ppl who play online poker do this when they do a clean reinstall or buy new computer.


What im a bit worried about is since my asus laptop has lot of problems such as connecting monitor has issues and most importantly the constant beeping which means its a motherboard or ram or driver problem... is there any chance i could transfer some damage to the new laptop this way? The database is going to be huge in terms of gb so i can't just transfer it with a usb and need to download it to box.com or similar online storage site.

 

My suggestion would be to get an HDD enclosure and connect the HDD from your old ASUS to your new lappy.

 

Pretty much, as long as it's file, there shouldn't be any problems.

 

No.

USB sticks with up to 64GB of storage are common and inexpensive these days. How large is your database? All cloud storage providers have file size limits of 20GB or less, depending on the provider, at least for the free options, so if a USB stick won't work, then cloud storage won't either. In that case you can use an external HD enclosure as your most inexpensive option. Another possibility is to connect from the new laptop to the old one over your network, and directly transfer the file(s) that way.

 

First off when was the last time you cleaned out the dust bunnies and reapply the thermal paste and are you sure the vent ports aren't blocked when in use? This is maintenance that you should do every year to keep it running cool properly vented. Also take out the ram one by one and test which one is bad and swap into different memory slots to make sure not only is the RAM bad or one of the two slots are bad. There are some basic things you need to do to eliminate basic problem before going more deeper. Also reinstalling the O/S won't help if those maintenance aren't done you will get the same problem situation again.

 

I never ever cleaned inside of a computer whether its a laptop or desktop. Reason is b/c i dont know how to open it up.
