Have a customer come in,Acer Aspire 5333.
This unit does need a hard drive replaced, and a keyboard replacement, which is in the works. However, I do have a spare hard drive to slide into it for testing until the new drive comes in.
The customer has infered, that for technical reasons (his server software) he needs Windows XP on this computer. (Apparently the software needed to access the server software, doesnt play nice with Windows 7 which is default on this unit)
In trying to install Windows XP Pro (Yes, 32 bit) I cant even get to the main setup console. It instead, eventually at some point, drops to a blue screen.
PC-Doctor otherwise tests this machine as A-OK with the exception of the HD issues (Note, after initial boot and test, it wont even remain on, goes into a power up, reset cycle that can be stopped only with pressing power button for 5-10 seconds)
Ideas?
