As the title suggests this has happened to my beloved netbook

Been in YouTube but the videos / fixes don't seem to work, Anyone got any tips or fixes ????


All help appreciated

do you mean it just boots to a black screen with a flashing cursor?

We fixed ours with the following instructions ... a bit scary but did the trick

Have you loaded any new software recently, or changed any hardware, that sort of thing? Also, do you have a better description of when/where/how long it takes to get the BSoD?

If it's anything like when ours broke it won't even get to the POST.

i think we need way more info from the OP before even starting to suggest a course of action

we have flashed the bios loads of times on the two we have when they fail to boot
very common problem

Can also screw up your computer and create a large paperweight. More info is needed.
