Blue screen on my Acer PC and Ireland does not exist!
-
So my computer has been working fine for a number of months now and yesterday it bule screened on start up. So off I go on thw www on my trusty Mac and find the Acer site and look on their worldwide map. Ireland is not there :shock:
OK so you might say that Ireland is covered by the UK but then why not list us as such?
Countries such as Malta 402K popultaion, Estonia 1.3M, Slovena 2M, Lativa 2.3M, Lithuania 3.6M and Moldova 4.2M are all covered. Strange that ACER never heard of Ireland or am I the only idiot here that ever bought one of their computers? (Please don’t answer that)Sheldon wrote:

And I hate it when they give coverage rights or reseller rights for Ireland to an UK company. All I can do is throw a pebble at them and ask the US companies how’s the weather in Canada?
For the blue screen, the software I trust to test for baddies is malwarebytes.org They have a free copy on their site but a man with your mattress could easily throw them a score.
For hardware fault finding I guess you know the drill?Sheldon,
If you haven’t fixed the problem yet, at the end of the blue screen there should be 5 hexidecimal codes. If you can tell us the first one we might be able to pinpoint the problem. It will look something like this
0x0000000C

Hi Jody
The code was 0x00000050. AVG had updated that morning and after that nothing. I rolled the machine back and still nothing. I had everthing backed up so I wiped the disc and started from fresh. Loaded everything up and then all my software. I left the machine running while it transfered 300gb of data and then did loads of tests. Working perfectly.
Decided that I should put AVG back on and I got the blue screen again. :evil:
Started from scratch again and put McAffee on instead. Working fine. I’m running AVG on other machines with no problems!
Thanks for every bodies concern.
The link on the ACER site that got me all hot and bothered was this: http://www.acer.com/worldwide/selection.html
