Acer Aspire E1-571 Screen flashes blue every two seconds once I'm logged in. Can't access ANY of my files : Please help. Has anyone else experienced this before?
Dear Costmer,
this is a harddisk correpted
Hi
The MS BSOD (blue screen of death), if this is what you have, is never a nice thing to get and usually means a hardware or driver failure.
The web site here allows you to select your computer from the options and you can then select drivers, manuals etc to download so that you can attempt to repair your computer. In the three columns select "Notebook" > "Aspire" > "Aspire E71-571" and tabs will appear further down the page.
Drivers and Manuals
You can then select any drivers you may require for your hardware, or the manual etc.etc.
Alternatively if you have somebody you know who can remove your hard drive and connect it to another computer to extract your data files from the drive, or you have an up-to-date back up of your data files, then you can use the return to factory settings from the hard drive. The method to do this will be in the User Guide on the page above.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers
First calm down.even if your laptop has serious problem your files are unswayed in this case.
1. Turn on or restart your computer.
2. Hold down the F8 key before the Windows logo appears. If the computer makes a complaining noise, tap the F8 key repeatedly instead of holding it down.
3. If a Windows logo or "Windows starting" appears, wait until Windows loads.... then restart the computer and try pressing F8 again.
4. Once you are successful, a menu will appear with a number of boot options. Use an arrow key to navigate to "Safe Mode" and press the Enter key.
5.if windows start without flasing blue let me know to give further instructions...
Blue screen errors are a bad sign. You probably have a virus or a corrupted hard drive. Depending on your computer expertise, I recommend either re-formatting your hard drive (you will lose everything), or purchasing a new computer.
