ASUS Eee PC R101 not starting properly, after switching on windos logo loads, then a blue screen with white writing flashes and a black screen with choices of ; safe mode safe mode with networking safe mode with command promp last known good configuration (your most recent settings that worked) or, start windows normaly is on the screen It then gives a small countdown to make your chooice or windows with start normally again. No matter which option I choose it repeats the proccess described at the start and goes back to the black screen. What is wrong and what do I do?

More info needed, can't quite make out you mean? If I understant you your OS is Windows XP Home Prem.:http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_4G/#specifications

The hard drive has issues, or the window files are corrupt. I suggest a computer repair store to retrieve files and test hardware.

have you reinstall your Eee pc 701 ?

The keyboard takes a lot of abuse and as durable as it is, they will eventually wear out. It is a very inexpensive part to replace and does not require a lot of skill. The fact that the touch pad is acting up could indicate that they are interconnected. I would replace both. The Touch pad is a more involved part to replace and I would suggest you get some help or pay to have it replaced.

You can order them off of sites like eBay, then watch a YouTube video on how to do it.

These are ramdomly selected:

do you have it set to hibernate check that setting ...the whole on the bottom is the reset switch for the machine

try to press F8 after bios splash and start computer with options "disable restart with error" or something like that. then you gonna get a blue screen and a error write down that error and give it to me.

if a blue screen pops up with white writing theres something seriously wrong with your laptop a blue screen on a computer is the worst possible thing that could happen apart from the thing actually exploding and can be caused by a wide range of things, my suggestion would be to reinstall windows as it will basically give you brand new computer with no errors

you just installed windows xp, have you installed the drivers properly? i suggest you need to reinstall the video driver.

Consider downloading a specific release of Ubuntu; eeebuntu. Download the ISO and then conenct an external DVD device to it, during the BIOS screen, choose the ESC button and boot from the external device.
This Ubuntu-specific group offers three kinds of ISO's (simple, super basic, and a loaded release), all of which allow all parts to work out of the box:
