    Acer Aspire 4730Z
    Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16GHz, 2166 Mhz, 2 Cores, 2 Logical Processors
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
    Service Pack 2 Build 6002
    4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)

    Laptop will not boot into safe mode with F8, can access the bios but after that the computer hangs with a steady (non-blinking) cursor. Removing the hard drive and re-seating helped once, but the problem occurred again and this didn't work a second time. The max. HHD temp idling was 61C. I ran checkdisk that showed no errors or bad sectors.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.
