Hi All
I have an Acer Aspire (Turion ML30 1gb ram) which runs perfectly, once i finally get it to boot from cold. My usual routine is:
1: power up. This boots the machine past the welcome screen, to the desktop where just about everything happens correctly - icons appear in the notification area, then bam...
2: BSOD. Variety of different messages here some relating to .sys files and sometimes just a stop message. Nothing specific.
3: power off, then power up straight away. Again loads to desktop whereupon I get EITHER a "windows has recovered from a serioous error" message, then all is well OR any number of messages saying explorer needs to close or could not initialise win logon...
4: reboot, then all is well. No crashes - good ol' XP performing as it should for as many days as I need it until I power down and let it go 'cold'. Then the cycle starts again.
I've done the mem-test thing; I've installed Puppy Linux and that works fine, so I'm guessing (hopefully) not a hardware faliure.
Any clues much appreciated!
