Hi,

A friend of mine gave me his Acer Aspire 1360 because it would get stuck on the loadscreen from windows. I was supposed to fix this in a few minutes, but there is more to it then i thought.

I rebooted the pc in safe modus, same thing happens, it freezes.

Broken Battery?

Removed battery, tried again, same story.

Too hot?

Booted with a Knoppix CD, boots extremely fast and no freezes at all. eveything seems to work as it should. Worked the whole time without any freezes or shutdown.

Screwed up windows install?

tried rebooting from a (valid & working) windows XP cd, the first 3 times the PC shut down where i had to choose the file system (fat, ntfs), the last time it shut down at 10% formatted.

Any ideas on what is going on here would be very welcome!
