I did the impossible.

Remember this?

Since the laptop turns on, screen lights up and all the hardware seems to be turning on, I just couldn't believe it's done for. I took as many parts out as possible, switched the ram cards with eachother, booted and shut down over and over again, and generally was messing around. Some hours later suddenly the screen goes white and gives the huge acer logo. I could not believe my eyes.

Immediately after that it does this: http://i.imgur.com/OY2TV.jpg

A quick google reveals it's likely the HDD. Like lightning I reinstalled the HDD cad and rebooted. It asked me to restart windows normally or safe mode.

I don't even need any help with this post lol. Although, if someone can explain how could I possibly fix it, I would love you.


It still does crash all the time though, it's as if the power is completely cut off all of the sudden, because the HDD does not stop sometimes. Instead it just spinds empty until it stops by itself. Right now it's been stable enough for quite some time to allow me to install firefox and an antivirus though.
