Robwan,
Go to this site:
Update your bios.
Update your VGA driver.
Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Notebook / Aspire / Aspire 5755G
i attached the zipped folder from the sf_diagnostic tool. As for the minidump file, i changed all my settings so it would create one and i got no error when running the diagnostic tool, so it should be there. However i checked %systemroot%minidump and the file is empty.
I will run that script now and update my drivers, thanks for your help so far :)
here's what i got from the powershell script.
and I'm currently downloading the drivers for vga and bios.
since you have now run chkdsk c: /R
then please run this script and attach the file placed on your desktop to your next post (along with the three missing .txt files).
Script:
# ************************************************************
# Places CHKDSKLOGS.txt on your DESKTOP
# Results of running chkdsk (check disk) are in ChkDskLogs.txt
# ************************************************************
$obj = new-object -typename psobject
$events = get-winevent -filterhashtable @{logname='application';id=1001,26212,26214} -verbose:$false -ea:silentlycontinue |
where {($_.providername -ne 'Microsoft-Windows-LoadPerf') -and ($_.providername -ne 'Windows Error Reporting')} |
sort-object -property timecreated -desc
If ($events -eq $Null) {$events = "No check disk logs exist." } ELSE {
$obj = $events | SELECT timecreated, id, message }
$obj | ft -auto -wrap > $env:userprofile\desktop\CHKDSKLOGS.TXT
EXIT
EXIT
# ************************************************************
Sorry, my bad, forgot about those, here you go :)
I'm actually just gonna run chkdsk c: /R in a sec when the download finishes for vga driver, then i will run that script and report back.
Ok thanks again for all your help so far, i also have to pop out for a but, but will be back later
