Back up all necessary data to an external device such as a disk, flash drive or hard driv

Please switch off the laptop and remove the battery. wait for 10 minutes and clean the battery and keep it in laptop. Connect the laptop to AC power.
Try to check whether the battery is detected in the BIOS setup.
If the BIOS is not detected then please exchange with the new battery from vender.

During the boot up process you will see on the screen press a certain key to enter set up

Press either delete or f2 during the boot up process to enter BIOS scroll down to set user password or supervisor password you can change or remove your password from there

hope this helps

I THINK ANY VIRUS MAY BE IN YOUR SYSTEM. PLEASE FULL SCAN YOUR COMPUTER THROUGH A GOOD ANTIVIRUS. IF PROBLEM REMAINS SAME THEN YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE FORMAT WINDOW AND THEN REINSTALL WINDOW.

this happens when you have errors with the hard drive not responding to the new boot or drivers not responding. is this a clean install or a restore? if you are not using the original xp disk the machine came with you may get these errors. the blue screen usually has a message in it. let me know what it says if you get a second.

Hi! It appears that possibly your hrad drive isn't set properly in the caddy? with the laptop powered down and disconnected locate the hard drive cover pop out the two locating screws and carefully move the caddy/hard drive BEWARE as the drive has fragile pins at the opposite end where you opened, hopefully little sliding pressure should remove. Check the retaining screws around the caddy (You'll need a small torx/philips screw driver for this) if all tight replace gently.
If you are uncertain I would recommend a technician check it for you.
Good Luck!

does the laptop get very hot ? Aspire know to over heat.
You also might want to reinstall OS.

In my case with an Aspire 4710 it was the old or incorrect chipset drivers from the Acer site.
After downloading the proper new drivers from Intel all is fine.
