Hi
Please can anyone give me some advice!
I used my BF's Dell Inspiron 1545 Vista (which funnily is the exact model as mine but mine is Windows 7, hence didn't pay attention to the VISTA part!
I thought it needed Flash Player so I asked him & installed it. I then realized it was making the computer freeze. So I uninstalled it. Tried it again to make sure that was causing the problem. & it was. So uninstalled again.
The next day, computer won't turn on! Ahhhh...
Tried everything but get the blue or black screen after the initial stripy line (with Microsoft written under it).keeps going over & over.
Tried:
Repair computer
Start normally
Last good configuration (ran it for 3 hours)
Restore BIOS to default settings
& everything else I coukd do safely.
I RAN A DIAGNOSTICS & gives ERROR 2000-0416
Hard drive 0
so far....
Under SATA, there's 3 options;
Disable
ATA
AHIC (this one is ticked).
Do I need to replace the HDD & more importantly is it my fault!
