Acer Aspire 5920 Wont Boot

First before doing this you need to make sure you have your windows vista CD.

If you do not you need to obtain a copy of this,

the following site should have all the details you need to make the CD and also to fix the problem :)

Please let me know if you have any other questions

Turn on your laptop n try pressing Alt-F10....n try restart it....generally acer laptops work properly after pressing Alt F10.....
Also if u r able to turn on ur laptopn in safe mode then try deactivate windows update...and restart ur laptop in normal mode.....

If you have the factory CD's you can yous that to reformat and install all defaults. If not, you can use a bootable Windows CD. Boot to the cd (pressing F12 as soon as the computer turns on and selecting Boot to CD)

You can the use the Windows CD to format the drive and re-install Windows.

Hope that helps. Please comment and rate if it does.

Thanks,

BSOD is caused by hardware error or driver error. Disconnect all hardware except the basic. Motherboard, monitor, memory, hard drive. Unplug the wireless, cd/dvd drive.
Start the computer and see if the the BSOD returns. If not, one by one add components until you see the BSOD.
If you continue to see this screen without any hardware attached, then you most likely have an onboard component failing. (audio/video/memory failure)
Download and run the MS DART cd and check hardware starting with memory then hard drive.

This should determine what device is failing, except video or audio.

hi friend,

operating system of your laptop has crashed. you have to reinstall operating system. entire data which was stored on desktop, My documents will be lost.

Turn on your laptop and open DVD rom. Insert bootable CD which you might got with laptop. then it will start itself. and follow the instructions given on the screen.

Your friend,

Follow the online instructions because this will help repair the problem, then logon the internet and perform a windows update at the microsoft website

For the psswords i can recomend to reset them from BIOS but to do that you must first know them. The problem with recovery disks is solvable if you boot from an XP disc and format the C: partition in NTFS file sistem and when it starts copying files to install the windows stop the installation ( F3 or press the power button for more than 4 seconds.. don't worry you will not sustain disk damage... done it myself with the same notebook for a dozen times ) After formatting the partition C: try recovery again and it will work.
NOTE: for the formatting of the partition you must set the HDD mode from AHCI to ATA witch permits the XP setup utility to "see" the HDD. If it is set in AHCI mode the setup utility for windows XP will not detect youre HDD

Creating recovery discs After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the full factory image. the recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure.

Sounds like a vista problem. Have youtried to boot into safe mode? You can do that by oressing f8 during boot up and selecting safe mode from the menu.

If you can I would try to back up your docs, etc and maybe create a new user account.

There is also a boot repair in vista that I think comes up with the safe mode menu, so you might try that.

Hope this helps
