It was manageable that time, because it only happened a few times, and most of the time I was still able to use my laptop properly. However, since yesterday, every time my laptop restarted, I'm shown a folder with a question mark. Again, it happened a few times, but it was still manageable. Now, however, it just keeps restarting every few minutes, and I'm shown the question mark in a folder every time it restarts. I have reformatted my laptop already, so I'm wondering if it is perhaps a hardware problem? I didn't drop my macbook, etc. I think this started when I installed something from the internet that transform FLAC to MP3. I don't know anymore. Please help me. I have a lot of work to do, and this is my only laptop. Thank you very much.
Please note that I updated all my applications, etc. I even deleted them all, and then I reformatted, etc. But it still isn't working properly. I hope you can help. Thanks a lot.
