Laptop Freezes During Boot Up

Wilsonator · 09-19-2007, 04:59 PM

I have an Acer Aspire 3660Notebook.

When I came to turn it on today I got the following message:

We apologise for the incovienience, but Windows did not start properly, recent software or hardware changes may have caused this.

I am then presented with opitions for booting. However which ever one I select after a couple of seconds I get the following blue screen, which then after a couple of seconds disappears and the notebook goes off.

I have not to my knowledge made any software or hardware changes to the notebook.

Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this??

Thanks in advance,

Wilsonator!

My sisiter has "nicely" informed me that when she was using it last night norton was having a fit with a load of warnings in the corner as she put it.

And after reading the article relating to that warning message on the microsoft site, it sounds like a virus.

How would i go about removing this, I've read something anbout reocvery disc's but i'm not to sure.

Try booting into safe mode and scanning from there. It could also be an memory error.
