Windows 7 Stuck on first Startup Screen.
Hi, new to the forums so thourght i would give it a go ! here goes...
I installed windows 7 x86 (32 bit) on my acer aspire 6935G yesterday (03/11/09). I had it working perfectly, all drivers found and installed and everything was functioning perfectly. Today (04/11/09) i have used my laptop around in the morning, lunch and evening three times. The first time in the evening i installed NOD32 antivirus, was working fine. I later on started up my laptop and was working fine i was showing a friend how speedy my computer now was and decided i would like to try find out how fast the laptop would bootup so i went on Start->Restart the laptop turned off normally but then when it started back up it froze on the first screen that came up.
The screen is the normal "Acer, Empowering Technology" and at the bottom it says "Press F2 to start setup" the laptop freezes on this screen and does not continue through startup, im not sure if the laptop actually freezes because you can press caps lock and it turn the light on and off at the top near the power button to show whether caps lock is on or not. The laptop will just stay on this screen until restarted but freezes after 1-15 mins as capslock light will then not work. I then tried pressing F2 to see if that would work at all and then the laptop will freeze after a minute and pressing caps lock will no longer turn the light on and off.
This problem persists and will not go past this screen when i turn the laptop on. The thing that bugs me the most is that i cannot access anything on the laptop so cannot fiddle around and try find out what the problem is myself or even stumble across it with pure luck as nothing is actually working.
The laptop does not have any data on as it was a clean install (all partitions removed) that would be lost so any means of getting this laptop running again as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much and i appreciate any time helping me on this, Tom.
If this is in the wrong section please forgive me and moving the post would be a great help! Thanks !
