Serious and intresting computer problem
« on: May 31, 2010, 08:08:58 AM »
Hello, somehow I couldn't login to my previous account, so I had to create a new one. But lets get back on the topic.

Yesterday I had a strange thing, when shuting down my netbook, it freezed at a blank screen. Now after this very intresting thing happened: first of all an unknown bios Error comes up with an error code =C4A1, then it ask to press F1 to resume, when resumeing it shows the winodws start modes (safe,normal,last known configuration etc.) when I chose any of the above, netbooks freezes at a blank screen and after 1-2 min a blue screen with a 0x000000A5 error comes up ( no, I didn't change any hardware ). I tryed to bootup from an USB DVD drive, but when I try to choose the primary boot device, the only choises are HDD and Ethernet, so cant boot up from USB Device.

Also in the bios error screen is stated ( maybe it will help )

BIOS ver: F.03 EC Ver: 07.14
F10 = Rom Based setup
F9 = Boot device Menu
>>>Boot from Restore Partition...
Initializing USB Controllers ... Done.
1792MB+ 256MB

Auto-Detecting Pri Master... IDE hard Disk
Pri Master : TOSHIBA MK12352GSX LV011C
    Ultra DMA Mode-5, S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status OK
Auto-detecting USB Mass Storage Devices
00 USB Mass storage devices found and configured

*And when I put in an USB storage device ( a 4GB USB ) this line apiers in this place*

*Warning!USB Host Controller not found ath the specified address!!!*
Unknows BIOS error. Error code =C4A1
Press F1 to Resume

By the way, Netbook is HP 2133

Thank you for your time.

Start from basic's. Just have the basic on motherboard, example, one hard drive, one cdrom, one stick ram. Then try the boot up.It's mainly a driver error, or faulty hardware that causes this.
