Windows not loading/starting- i can access bios.
Hey there,
So my laptop (acer aspire 5745g) has stopped working.
I was using it normally until i received the blue screen of death and it shut down.
From then on, i tried to turn on the laptop and it would show me the windows loading page then it simply turns black with a flashing _ in the top left.
Rarely when i turn it on it loads up normally but it seems to have even stopped doing that.
What could be the issue?
I did some of my own research and many people suggest hd failure or ram?
If it is as simple as above i can buy the hd or ram and install an os myself.
How can i verify the problem?
p.s. I can see the hd in the bios and i used an external hard drive enclosure for my 2.5"" sata on another computer to which my surprise i was able to extract the C drive files.
:O i am so lost
all help appreciated.
