Guest Mike B Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I submitted a question about two weeks ago I was getting blue screen errors bad pool header windows has revcovered from a serious error CHDSK errors were appearing I reinstalled windows XP and receved the same errors. I then ordered new recovery disks and installed them last week. For days the system worked fine. Today I am getting the same error messages, constant shut downs, blue screen errors, system hanging up. Hour glass freezing, internet explorer shutting down every 3 minutes. bad pool header messages etc. Also the wireless network cannot be found at tmes and says no networks in range while another laptop in the same room works. when I tried to play videos it completely shut down. I formatted the disk on the same partition upon installation. The only other symptom I had previously noticed was the laptop does overheat at times. I have to run it near a fan. Any ideas? I did once last reinstall today, and received the same errors on a fresh installation with the new disks.
Guest Andrew E. Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 RE: New XP Disc still crashes New recovery cds will not help...How are you installing xp,with a retail version & retail cd,one would boot to xp cd,select install xp,delete the partition,create one,then let xp format & install auto...The mfg cds should let you do the same,if not,a MS-DOS disk utility from its mfg web site will perform hd functions like deleteing partitions...If the above is exactly how you reinstall xp,then use the mfg hd utility to test the hd.

This obviously has nothing to do with restore disks or any other software. You have a hardware issue. Yes, it could be overheating or it could be some other hardware failure such as bad RAM or another component on the motherboard. You can try and troubleshoot it yourself by testing your hard drive and RAM and checking for overheating, but since this is a laptop that's about all you can do yourself. Probably you should contact the laptop mftr. for repair/replacement. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
