What happens if you boot from a Linux disc (free to make)? If there are issues then also, it's hardware issue that needs repair. That's very likely.
I have an acer r14, when I start it, it gets past the the windows login in screen and then either I get artifacts and it shuts down. Or throws a bsod code and then shutsdown, any ideas? Thanks
