Did you tried to change the boot sequence first? seems to me a driver and hardware communication problem. Check your cd drive if some disc was been left.
Clarification questions. I forget to toggle switches.
Did you perform a full format of the hard drive? and fresh reinstallation of OS?
Since boot disc doesn't seems to work. Are you using a boot disc that leads you to a DOS screen? If that works then that could be a hard drive problem or driver problem.
Other possible cause will be a failing RAM card check its integrity. Are you familiar with memtest 88 software? Thermal and dust/dirt problem.
Ok, for memtest 88, it is a software DOS based if I am not mistaken to check the integrity of the memory card. Reason is if your memory card is failing commonly its overall capacity is been lowered say 128Mb if faulty it will suddenly drop to 64MB(based on my experience) on initial start up it only requires a little amount of memory then switching back to Windows environment it will crashed since it needs a huge memory to run the application.
Also the hard drive integrity when some of its storage space is been corrupted or faulty. When recovering it will fill the bad sector or some files will be skip to load. Then on windows environment it will crushed. Or the links and chains on the hard drive is been faulty.
On fresh installation when it will always repeating, I resorted to delete all existing partition and unformat the drive like new then create new partition. I also have it zero fill. Then chains and links are been renewed again. Reminder if you perform this, recovery partition will be deleted.
Also that could be your recovery partition, part of it are corrupted.

yea ive changed it, soon as it gets to the point of rebooting after formatting and is ment take you to welcome to windows screen were u have fill in details ect... it crashes
what i did is on boot up press alt + f10 which took me to Erecovery, sent the laptop back to restore to factory settings, using the hidden partion acer place on the hard drive, sometimes it crashes half way through, but if it dosent crash it restarts after its complete, and crashes on load up.... ive used a vista boot up disk to repair any problems there might be on the hard drive also run chkdisk.exe this is still failing and the bloody thing wont work lol beginning do my head in.....
and sorry no i dunno about memtest 88
