My PC! Help!

[shadowninny]

hmm my main computer just did same exact thing

if you dont care about your files you can crash and reboot your computer

(mine didnt beep though) maybe cos sound was off or w.e

[guestolo]

I know this may be a silly question
Are you running on battery, or are you plugged in to a wall outlet?

[Snowzak]

Yes, Its a laptop. Its on a battery.

[guestolo]

Just try something
Enter your bios setup
On your Acer it should be the F2 key when booting up
After it loads

Exit out of there and see if the computer will boot

Did you get a Recovery CD with your laptop?

[Snowzak]

Yeah ive got the Recovery disks..

[guestolo]

Boot from the CD

Here's what I found for Acer recovery
Press <Alt> + <F10> to open the Acer eRecovery Management utility.
Enter the password to proceed. The default password is six zeros.
In the Acer eRecovery Management window, select Recovery actions and
click Next.
Select the desired restore action and follow the onscreen instructions to
complete the restore process.

[Snowzak]

Yes, but it doesn't load onto the desktop, Since it doesn't load.

[guestolo]

Set the bios to boot from CD first

Put disk in CD drive
reboot the computer
Follow the on screen instructions

EDIT>>I believe, you also have a recovery partition on the hard disk
If for whatever reason you can't repair or reinstall XP with CD
The method I posted earlier would be your next step
pressing ALT-F10 at the Acer boot screen may bring up the recovery window
This should set the operating system back to factory defaults

[guestolo]

I totally forgot all about this

Yes, Its a laptop. Its on a battery.

Try plugging the power cord in if you haven't done a recovery yet, or did you try that?

[Snowzak]

No i didn't try that..Also, Its not the "Offical" recovery disks..Its a RW Copy.
But, I do havea Windows Xp disk to reload windows, Should i try that..?

Try plugging the power cord in if you haven't done a recovery yet, or did you try that?

I did.

[guestolo]

Its not the "Offical" recovery disks..Its a RW Copy.

Oh, what probably happened, is when you first got your laptop, you were bugged to create those backup disks
You did and that is what you can use
So go ahead and try using those RW's
If it is a DVD rewriteable it will probably be only one disc, if it's a Cdrw probably 2 of them

So boot up with the backup disk and follow the prompts
If you get to a spot your unsure about, post back and let me know the exact step your having problems with
