Hi there,I just installed a new hard drive and got the same message.The instructions said that if my system couldn't handle the increased data flow that it would hang up and not work right.In that case I would need too slow it down so my mother board could handle the data flow.The picture was reversed in the booklet but I just put the jumper on the same pins(farthest from power plugs.Seagate hard drive)It is easier to install the tiny jumper out of the case.Check your instructions,once I installed the jumper the problem was fixed.Speed without jumper 300 GB with jumper 1.5 GB (8^( Still fast though.I hope this helps and Thank You for choosing FiXya.

Tablet cont start

It can be due to following reason

1) Virus issues
2) less free space
3) Android/Windows OS issues
3) Due to recent software installation
4) Hardware issues


Try resetting the device, if there is option for pin hole reset

If you battery is removable try removing it and charge it fully for 2-3 hours, or try operating it with charger on (may be battery issue)

If you able to switch it on, do a software reset or remove all recently installed application and free some space in memory

System will not boot up says windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix problem insert installation disk and restart however there is no disk or disk drive....

Sometimes updates can cause problems with the OS and thus using the Repair potion of the Operating System Disc is necessary. You may have re-install the operating system again. The problem, if you did not back up the drive, you will loose all data and programs.

How do i solve the issue of recurring so-called blue screen of death? Also, an online acer forum linked th problem to the crystal eye webcam. Is his true?

You can't Just directly blame to a WEBCAM, because the blue screen can occurs due to some other reason also.

It can happen if you have install any new software or hardware which is not compatible with your system.
It can happen due to a faulty RAM(mostly), You can change the RAM and see if it solves your problem.
It can happen due to VIRUS INFECTION.

  1. The most important STOP error troubleshooting step you can take is to ask yourself what you just did.
    Did you just install a new program or a piece of hardware, update a driver, install an update, etc.? If so, there's a very good chance that the change you made caused the STOP error.
    Undo the change you made and test for the blue screen. Depending on what change you made, some solutions might include:

  1. Apply all available Windows service packs and other updates. Microsoft regularly releases patches and service packs for their operating systems that may contain fixes for the cause of your STOP error.
  2. Update drivers for your hardware. Most STOP messages are hardware and driver related so updated drivers could fix the cause of the STOP error.
  3. Check the System and Application logs in Event Viewer (Vista / XP) for errors or warnings that might provide more clues on the cause of the STOP error.
  4. Return hardware settings to default in Device Manager. Unless you have a specific reason to do so, the system resources that an individual piece of hardware is configured to use in Device Manager should be set to default. Non-default hardware settings have been known to cause STOP errors.
  5. Return BIOS settings to their default levels. An overclocked or misconfigured BIOS can cause all sorts of random issues, including STOP errors.
    Note: If you've made several customizations to your BIOS settings and don't wish to load the default ones then at least try returning clock speed, voltage settings, and BIOS memory options to their default settings and see if that fixes the STOP error.
  6. Make sure all internal cables, cards, and other components are installed and seated properly. Hardware that's not firmly in place can cause a STOP error so try reseating the following and then test for the STOP message again:
  7. Perform diagnostic tests on all hardware you're able to test. It's highly likely that the root cause of any given STOP error is a failing piece of hardware:
    If a test fails, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as possible.
  8. Update your BIOS. In some situations, and outdated BIOS could cause a STOP error due to certain incompatibilities.
  9. Start your PC with essential hardware only. A useful troubleshooting step in many situations, including STOP errors, is to start your computer with the minimum hardware necessary to run the operating system. If your computer starts successfully it proves that one of the removed hardware devices was the cause of the STOP message.
    Tip: Typically, the only necessary hardware for starting your PC through to the operating system includes the motherboard, CPU, RAM, primary hard drive, keyboard, video card, and monitor.

Windows failed to start.

You're getting that error message because the boot files on your hard drive (the required inaccessible device) are corrupted.

When first booting, press F8 repeatedly. Will the computer let you go into safe mode? If not, without the installation cd, you're kinda between a rock and a hard place. However, you can download a (free) vista recovery disk (repair only) from the people at easyBCD:
http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD

Just follow the directions to do a start up repair.
If that works, by all means, make yourself a recovery cd before doing anything else.

Blue screen stop error message 0*000000d1

This is caused by a bad driver installed on the computer. Try booting into safe mode and disabling any drivers that are not needed. You can also attempt to reinstall the drivers under safe mode.
