    I am having problems with my Acer Ferrari 3200.

    More and more recently, when I turn the laptop on, all I get is the fans turning on, the bluetooth light flashing and NO DISPLAY.

    It will sit there unless I press the power button. It seems to do this at random.

    Very occasionally I will get a single beep, or an Interupted boot message.

    It does however sometimes work, and once it gets past booting it works fine with no problems.

    It does not seem to like rebooting either.

    I am running with the current BIOS, and I have tried resetting the bios settings and reformatting to no avail.

    What I find strange is that this is occuring seemingly randomly.

    Any suggestions as to what can cause this behavior, and what I can do to fix it would be appreciated ?

    Thanks

    Peter
