Another knackered comp.
Hi,
Ive got an acer 3200 ferrari laptop. It ended up not being able to find an os and when put in for repair at my local computer guru he went and fitted a new HD.
Problem now is its reporting critical sys. errors and keeps telling me to shut down or system failure will occur. Well, it keeps shutting off itself. Tried installing 5 games and mp3 software on it and couldnt do 1. Said there waqs a sound file missing. Whats going on???!!!!
Cheers,
Doug.
p.s especially bad when connected to the net.

The only thing I can think of from what you describe is either the new HDD has a prbloem being accessed, this could be down to a loose connection when it was installed. Or the Laptop is overheating (fan Failure on the CPU) and as a safety measure the PC shuts itself down.
I would consider taking it back to the person or company who fixed it and let them have a go at rectifying the problem.
