Hi all
Having a problem with my Acer Aspire one725 not starting. I was downloading windows 8 in the background and I don't know if this tried to install itself and has caused the problem.
On trying to start up now it generally goes to a blank black screen, although sometimes the acer name comes up and it says loading system restore. I thought it had fixed itself today when it loaded to the windows recovery screen and then booted on its 3rd go. I logged in again and used it for about 20 minutes before the screen just went black in the middle of browsing. I got it to boot and go through recovery again tonight, it came up with additional advanced options this time, I tried recovery again but it didn't complete. I can hear the fan is working, the screen loaded the acer name screen at one point which was fuzzy, so I thought it may be the screen but it seems fine now.
I have tried removing the battery and holding down the power button for 30 seconds which may have helped it turn on once but that was it.
Any other advice? I have read from similar queries removing ram might fix it or could it be a BIOS issue?
If I can get system restore to boot it again is there anything I should do then?
Thanks
James
