At least half the time I use my PC and at varying periods of time after it has been switched on the following occurs. Basically the HDD light iluminates continuously and while it is on the one DVD drive will not open (in fact it does not even appear in ‘my computer’ while the other DVD drive opens and closes but will not read any disc. At the same time the functions of the computer start and stop at regular intervals. For example, the keyboard and mouse do not appear to opeate for about one out of every four seconds in a repeating cycle. Also the sound is lost at those moments as well as the display freezing, internet activity stops, it is as if the whole system just hangs every four seconds or so on a looping cycle. No information is lost, it frees up again for a few seconds and then repeats. When I restart the PC initially the problem is not there and sometimes my PC appears to ‘free’ itself and comes out of the cycle when it is left long enough. Any ideas please? Please can anyone help me with this?

I have Windows Vista on quite a new laptop. I have a Vodafone Mobile Broadband USB Modern Stick Lite to use the internet. I have installed the associated software. When I open the software it then allows me to connect to the Vodafone 3G connection - I then click 'Connect' and it loads half of the connection status bar and then a blue screen appears.

It has lots of white writing but from what I can read (it is only up for a few seconds before the computer automatically reboots) it says that Windows detected something trying to write to read only memory and something about ndis.sys. Then there is something about a memory dump.

I have plenty of memory available. Vodaphone were unable to help.

This happens every time I try to connect.

Your advice is gratefully appreciated! ]]> Miscellaneous Hardware Issues edmedic http://www.freepchelp.co.uk/forum/miscellaneous-hardware-issues/10310-vodafone-mobile-broadband-usb-modern-stick-lite-blue-screen-error.html http://www.freepchelp.co.uk/forum/miscellaneous-hardware-issues/10284-acer-l100-not-start-fan-hard-drive-start-up.html Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:09:49 GMT hello i have a acar l100 and i have turned it on it boots up but does not boot the fan and hard drive what could this be as it stays on the start screen (the acer logo) the hard drive is sata but it also has ide power connection and when i put a ide power connection in with the sata all in as well and run it work it seem that the main power have not got anoth energy how can i fix this hello i have a acar l100 and i have turned it on it boots up but does not boot the fan and hard drive what could this be as it stays on the start screen (the acer logo) the hard drive is sata but it also has ide power connection and when i put a ide power connection in with the sata all in as well and run it work it seem that the main power have not got anoth energy how can i fix this ]]> Miscellaneous Hardware Issues chrisgun http://www.freepchelp.co.uk/forum/miscellaneous-hardware-issues/10284-acer-l100-not-start-fan-hard-drive-start-up.html
