Acer Ferrari 4000 does not boot WinXP

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi

My recently bought Acer Ferrari fails to launch Windows. It's been working fine for the last month until yesterday (haven't installed anything during the last week).

It goes into blank screen immediately after displaying the initial WinXP logo and the only way to shut it down is hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds or unplug AC power and remove the battery.

On the restart I get into the menu allowing:

-Safe Mode
-Safe Mode with Networking
-Safe Mode with Command Prompt
-Last Good Known Configuration
-Start Windows Normally

Safe Mode works OK, the last two result in the blank screen.

What would be your advise? I would very much appreciate your help!

Try booting into safe mode again then use system restore. Right click My Computer select properties, on the box that comes up one of the tabs should be system restore click that and follow the instructions on screen.

Also you could run a spyware/mal-ware and virus scan in safe mode.

Good luck

System Restore was one of the first services I have disabled while tweaking my XP...
