    in General Help

    Posted

    when you say

    after leaving the pc off and unplugged for an hour maybe.... It suddenly works fine

    it sounds like the PSU is going faulty (prob a leaking cap ) so try a different PSU and see if this works

    but i would stop using he faulty one as this can cause more problems

    Anyway past Acer eRecovery BS?!?

    Have you got a FD ?  or a friend with an external one

    if so create a bootable floppy disk (or download a win98 version boot disk, works the best)

    boot into that and use FDISK, this will show all partions and you can delete them

    it will also format your HD from a RAW format into FAT 32 then use the Vista disk this will then format it again into NTFS

    and should install

    But remember that it will NOT install all Hardware you will probably need to go the the ACER web site to download the drivers for your machine to get it fully working

    No idea

    I'm on virgin cable and had a similar problem it turned out to be the moden (the silver one)

    if you have this modem then contact virgin and tell them you have a speed issue and that you have rebuilt your OS and that it is up to date with all drivers and AV / firewall software

    they will try this , that , and the other but persist and they will send a new modem  (the silver one does not seem compatible with there new system updates)

    they have upgraded the 2Mb and 4Mb lines they use to have to a 10Mb

    when you get the new one you need to Phone again and give them the MAC address (on the bottom of modem) then you will be able to surf again

    when done and back online come here and test speed

    as the ERROR CODE is 39

    i am presuming that the CD drive is not shown in "my computer"

    If this is the Case then there is a REG fix for this as it is more often a software issue that the driver is conflicking with

    I work for a Large retail chain in the UK, going round peoples house and fixing there PC and TVs

    (UK PLEASE DONT GIVE ME GRIEF AS YOU KNOW WHO IT IS, some of us do Know our Job)

    This is from our Internal KB

    CDROM not displayed in My Computer - Device Manager shows Error Code 39

    Registry fix

    Situation

    CD-ROM won't display in my computer, but is listed in device manager with an exclamation mark & error code 31, 32, 19 or 39. Removing the device & rebooting failed to fix the problem.

    Another possible error message -

    Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

    Cause

    Possibly CD writing software causes the problem.

    Resolution

    A registry edit is required.

    Go to Start - Run and type REGEDIT

    Browse to HKLMsystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolclass{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Locate the UpperFilters value & delete it.

    Locate the LowerFilters entry & delete it.

    (Only one of these two filters values may exist) 

    Restart computer

    If after this fix any program fails to function correctly (such as CD-WRITING software) that program may need reinstalling.

    PLEASE DO NOT EDIT REGISTRY IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOURSELF

    I will not be held responsible if you mess it up

    this relates to a MEM issue

    This Stop message, also known as Stop 0xA, indicates that a kernel-mode process attempted to access a portion of memory at an Interrupt Request Level (IRQL) that was too high. A kernel-mode process can only access other processes that have an IRQL lesser than or equal to its own.

    Interpreting the Message

    The four parameters listed in the Stop 0xA message are defined in order of appearance as follows:

    1.

    Memory address referenced

    2.

    IRQL

    3.

    Type of access (0 = read operation, 1 = write operation)

    4.

    Address that referenced memory in parameter 1

    Plug a mic into speakers?

    so on your speakers do you have BOTH leads plugged into your PC for them to work

    you need one plugged into the BLUE socket for speakers and One plugged into the Pink for the mic to work

    Also As default windows MUTES the Mic

    so you will need to Unmute it in the Volume control

    and As long as both leads are in the Port on the front of the spakers should work

    First Off Try and Do a System restore back to before the Problem started

    if this does not work get yourself a copy of a LIVE Linux CD/DVD)  and Boot with That then Run the AV program that is in the CD

    This should find it (As long as its upto date)

    www.ubcd4win.com is a good one, you can also update files on it

    Or you can manually delete it

    You might need to find the Other files associated with it

    and Check the Registry for that file

    As ghostmaster has said its probably a bad piece of hardware

    Try stripping all the pieces out of the Mobo and rebuild it 1 piece at a time

    just have 1 stick of mem, HD and Graphics card, then if you can do a scan

    then try the other piece of Ram ( that is if you have 2 or more)

    Also make sure that the HS and fan are clean of dust

    Also try using a LIVE copy of a Lunix Prog

    or UBCD  http://www.ubcd4win.com/  works great for diagnosing PC problems
