Farva, I need your assistance!
Here's what happened. A while ago my sister came over to use my computer and I left and went to school. She sends me a text a little later saying it froze and blah blah blah. Im like just shut it down i'll look at it when I get home.
The ass hole left it on I come in and the ing thing sounds like a jet taking off, fans at warp speed. I curse and do a hard shut down. Restart, blue screen of death, complete failure. I assumed my hard drive had just crashed which was one problem, whatever. I can still access the info on there if I need it.
I bought two 1TB hard drives hooked them up set the to CD/DVD boot. I go to install Win 7 and then all hell breaks lose. Problem after problem. First try all is going good then it freezes at like 11%. Ok you I reboot then it says reboot and select proper boot device yadda yadda (I was on the proper boot). It'll do this every single time I restart. Now if I turn it off for an hour it'll start booting normally, then freeze then the process repeats. Same thing if I change boot disks (different operating systems). I've given up I havent touched the POS for like a month out of frustration. I've never had anything like this happen. Oh, and one point while trying to install I got a message saying to install the CD/DVD driver:wtf:
I'm lost and getting tired of using this ancient laptop. Did my motherboard crap out? |

if this is happening during windows setup its ed.
i would guess the power supply first, replace that, its cheap just pop in like a 40 bux 400-500w supply and prey that's what it was.
take a look at the mobo at the cap things that look like batteries are they bulging? if so mobos toast.
cpu might be also overheating clear dust on the fan / have a fan blowing air inside the computer. |

also try with only one ram stick in, and swap to the other one if its still locking up.
do a full power drain, unplug psu, take out the mobo battery and leave for 30min, put battery back in and plug psu in, try again. |

Yeah I cleared all the dust and knew about the caps, they're all good. I was trying to fix my pops computer and he had like 7 caps actually leaking lol that bitch is ed.
My computer is only a little over a year old...
Oh I also tried LiveXP and that also froze on boot up. :/ Then restarted to try again and I get the select proper boot device bull. |

Eh I don't think you want to, lol.
You think I can just get the same exact motherboard and swap em out? |

Have you tried jamming your member in the floppy drive?
