Recently installed Vista - v nice smooth install. Pc restarted fine at that
point. A number of sub components needed drivers (it's an ASUS A6VM laptop -
ACPI device, built in webcam, card reader) so at first I loaded them
individually and ended up with laptop unable to reboot.....it says it closing
down, then black screen and much HDD activity as if its about to restart, and
then nothing. Just a black screen, fan's still running, power lights still
on etc.
Reloading drivers individually the problem one appears to be the webcam, not
the ACPI device (ATK 0100 ACPI Utility) as I expected.
Reloaded Vista from scratch and once again all work fine. This time I go to
MS Update to let the system download the latest drivers (mine could have been
too old) but once all was updated the same problem occurs. The laptop closes
down OK, but wont reboot. It just hangs at the black screen.
My latest thought is the BIOS needs updating but the ASUS site states I have
the most up to date installed already.
If anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate them.
Thanks
