Hello yoshi mate if you have time enough to get this going try it http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

It said that their is not problems but their still is.

12gb is a lot of RAM. Test your RAM - Test with Memtest86+ for 5-6 passes or overnight to stress it.

Run a few Startup Repairs to see if it finds anything to fix in the boot.

Try creating a new User Profile at Control Panel>User Accounts>Manage Another Account. See if the problem persists. If so try a Repair Install.

If it continues then its a hardware problem, possibly the Power Supply. Check/replace all cables, connections, try another PSU after running the Psu calculator - Windows 7 Forums.

We have hardware experts here who can help you more. Report back on all the above steps.

Absolutely yoshi go with Greg.

Well... This is not been a fun day. i come back home from school turn on my PC. When it gets to where the logo is forming on the loadup screen the pc freezes. I just fixed this ishue a few days ago then now it is happening again. BTW i don't have the windows 7 disk.

Here is the post from a while ago:http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/273259-bsod-ntoskrnl-exe-0x0000000a.html

Boot into System Recovery Options via F8 to run Startup Repair - Run up to 3 Separate Times, report back results.

Is this the Acer factory preinstall which no tech enthusiast would run or have you gotten the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 yet?

 

[yoshi986]

I am going to do the fresh reinstall. I will tell you happens. Hope it will be a good think.

 

[gregrocker]

Be sure to follow the steps closely and you'll end up with a perfect install.

Let us know how it goes.

Hum Greg I was going to suggest a factory default but I guess the ISO install will leave out the bloat eh?

 

[gregrocker]

Sure will, John. Never a complaint about doing one on Acer, either.

 

[yoshi986]

what one do you guys think is better?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Gregs one mate as it will leave out the bloatware from Acer.

 

[yoshi986]

well... I can't install windows 7 for some stupid reason. I fell ready to give up soon and go to my local computer shop to get it fixed. but i will still try some more things for alittle while Don't know what will happen.i guess.

But anyway i downloaded the windows 7 and tryed to install it but there was a error that came up well trying to install ATM i am running a system check. I hope it will work....?

 

[yoshi986]

I think i have found the problem. I tried checking if my pc would work on windows 7 and it said. ITUNES IS INCOMPARABLE.
I will see what happens after i remove it.

 

[gregrocker]

ITunes would only interfere if you are running a Repair Install from the desktop, not a Clean Install Windows 7.

This is why I said to be sure to follow the steps closely in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which state to boot the installer to do the reinstall. You wouldn't have gotten the error if you'd done this. Now read the steps and follow them closely if you want a perfect install.

 

[yoshi986]

After i found out it was Itunes i did what it you said in the other post and everything works. But that is not a for sure.

Personally yoshi I would not have anything Apple on any of my machines - have fixed too many that have been submerged with their (in my view) crappy rubbish:sarc:

 

[yoshi986]

Thanks for the tip. I will remember that

 

[gregrocker]

I'm still wondering how you got an error about Itunes interfering while reinstalling Win7?

The only time these compatibility checks are run is for the Upgrade install run from the OS, which in Win7 is a Repair Install. But if you were following the steps given in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 you would have booted the installer to reinstall and this could not have occurred.
