Windows crashed on Startup(unique story)
I know it isn't much to go on. But I was playing the Sims 3 on my Acer Laptop(Acer Aspire 5336-2524) and I got a blue screen. Thought nothing of it because of reports of this happening. It didn't happen again for a couple months and it happened again and crashed my laptop. I would boot it up and it would just reset and continue on.
So I did what anyone with computer knowledge would do. Started it up and entered into the windows re-installation settings. I decided I was going to wipe the drive clean and re-install windows. Well, as it was installing all of the standard software, I noticed it would get stuck on "Windows Defragmentation". It would just sit there for about 5 minutes saying "installing" and I would get a Blue Screen and the laptop would shut off.
I was able to by pass this for about 30 minutes by bringing up my task manager and shutting down the installation process until I was kicked off by the blue screen.
So, not knowing what else to do. I decided I was going to re-install windows a second time.
Now, instead of getting to the software installation, It bootsup and has the Windows Logo and under it says "starting windows" and then "Setup is starting services" and I get the error "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."
I have tried Safe Mode, Tried Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool. Neither have worked.
No idea what to do. So I am pretty sure I am screwed on this one.
Should I just move on? I mean, the laptop was great at first. but then I would get USB drive errors(Which lead to the blue screens come to think of it).
