Hi everyone.
Hi everyone!
Yesterday when I was working on my Acer Aspire V3 laptop, windows froze. So I pressed the power button for 10 seconds to turn it off.
Now, when I try to start it up, I get the Acer screen, then the windows loading screen where the dots turn round in a circle, but at some point it freezes and doesnt continue.
I have tried:
- removing the battery and starting it with the AC adapter connected --> No change
- removing the battery, wait 10 minutes, holding the power button for 60 seconds, place the battery back, plug in the AC adapter and power on --> No change
- Starting up in safe mode --> Windows starts but the desktop freezes before I have been able to click on anything.
- System restore to a point about 8 days ago --> no Change
- Have the system debug/ fix problems itself --> did not work
I really hope someone has any more ideas for me to try....
- remove the RAM, blow in the brackets where the RAM is placed and putting the RAM back?
- flash the bios with from a self made USB recovery stick?
- the windows option to 'refresh your windows without affecting files' ?
Any help would be greately appreciated!!!!!
