I have a Acer Aspire 5050, If I install the battery in a little while the laptop freezes up. As soon as I remove the battery it works fine. I installed a new battery and it has the same issue. This computer originally had Windows Vista. I installed Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. I really don't like Vista. Any idea on how to solve my problem.

    I think you have a defective charging circuit on the mobo
    Or it may simply be that you are not locking the battery in place

    This seems to be something that happened when I went back to XP. This is the second Aspire 5050 that this has happened to me when I changed to Windows XP. I think I may be missing a drver that monitors the battery.

All I can suggest here is that you flash the bios to the one designed for Windows XP

Acer Aspire 5050 won't boot at all

Yes, it's not the hard drive.

More than likely it's your motherboard.

There's not much you can do besides trying to boot the computer without the battery, and removing and reinstalling the memory.

Hopefully you'll get lucky!
