Wanted to see if anyone has seen this problem before or if anyone could help with the problem.
This is a computer in for service in our shop. Let me Give some info and tell you what i have tried so far.
Acer Aspire M5641
Intel E2200 processor
2 sticks of 2GB DDR2 800 dimms
no extra cards installed
has a card reader and some extra usb conn and a digital audio out conn
1st of all, on my initial check, it came up with the blue screen and received a "STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error message
Did some Google checking and tried to boot to a boot cd(ubcd for win), but locked up.
tried to load a vista boot cd but locks up after loading files when the green bar starts going across screen
removed hd and hooked up to my laptop and scanned for virus and ran check disk on it. did say it found and corrected some errors.
reinstalled drive and tried again, with same blue screen
unplugged all unnecessary cables for usb and card reader
started trying to check memory - installed a new good stick, and tried to boot to vista boot cd and it locked up again same spot.
tried a different dvd drive for the heck of it with no change
reinstalled old memory and booted to menu on boot cd and choose memtest86 and it went through about test 2 and restarted.
tried new memory again and it went through all of memtest86 test, so tried to run both boot cds with it and it locks up
tested old mem sticks one at a time and will go thru test, but together, pc will reboot after about midway thru test 2
I am down to thinking I have possible mb problems, but wanted to see if anyone else had run into this. sorry for the length but wanted to put out there what i had tried. If anyone has any ideas i would appreciate the help
Thanks
