Acer Aspire 5920G BIOS Problem

[Mighty God]

Hi there,

I've installed XP Profesional (x86) and Vista Ultimate (x86) onto an Acer Aspire 5920G and everything and so far I've not really had any problems until now when I've gone to start it and it simply loads the BIOS pre-boot screen and freezes there; it won't even let enter the BIOS, and doesn't get to the Boot Manager stage.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to get this problem fixed, PLESDE

Cheers.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but i have a machine here, acer aspire 5920g with almost exactly the same problem. After doing some research, I am inclined to suggest that it is a graphics card problem.

The above link suggests that if you replace the graphics card with an ATI card it will solve the problem:

Welcome to HEXUS!

It is an old thread - and I expect the OP has probably fixed the problem - or junked the laptop by now - but thank you for taking the time to post.
