Ive been looking at a mates laptop who seems to have all sorts of problems with it. It wouldnt boot up and instaed flashed a bsod to quick to even read and would go into an infinite boot loop.
I removed the drive, backed up his data from it and reformatted it. I re installed Xp and his av, spyware apps etc, MS office and new drivers. Then all of a sudden I rebooted and it just stays at the Xp splash screen. If I try to boot in safe mode it stops at a blacks creen with safe mode in the bottom corners but no cions etc and the mouse cursor moves but thats it.
Not sure what to do from here and would appreciate some suggestions.
he has always had problems with this laptopo and Im starting to think its faulty hardware.
Thanks in advance.
