What in the world happend?

My Laptop specs are in my sig

OK I left my laptop on last night with I-Tunes on. I like to play music it helps me sleep but anyway I woke up this morning and my computer was turned off. So I thought that was odd so I tried Turning it on and I got an acer arcade screen with a bunch of different languages so I freaked out and turned it off and turned it on again and the weirdest thing happened you know when you boot up your computer depending on what operating system you have a line shows that it is loading I have Windows vista and when I booted it the second time it was telling me I had windows XP then went back to the acer arcade screen with the bunch of differnt languages. So I turned it off again but I unplugged the battery and the charging cable find left the system off for like 5 min rebooted and now everything booted up normally. So I did a virus scan with malewarebytes (its the free version) and that came up with nothing and im doing a scan right now with Microsoft Security Essentials but its 75% done and found noting. Now im all freaked out. Is this something I should be worried about? Cause i'm all freaked out. Thanks guys!

 

Im sure that someone will come along with a technical reason of why this is. Maybe because the laptop was built for a certain operating system I do not know.

What i do know is this is normal and it has happened to me several times when my 6920 turned off unexpectantly and when I booted it showed the XP loading screen (also this happened when doing a system recovery module) however during loadup it requested as I had not shut down if I like to start windows normally and Vista came up as normal.

I havent seen this problem with Windows 7 however.

Music is awesome before sleep!

I recommend:

E.S posthumus
Epicon - Globus
Immediate Music



EDIT: In fact I had the exact same setup as you before I started hacking away at it with thermal compound and a screwdriver!

 

I know that the Acer Aspire (Gemstone Blue) Computers have an inbuilt quickboot-media-feature kinda thing where the interface and the loading-screen looks exactly like XP. I could trigger it by pressing a button on the touchpad on my computer. However, I don't got the problem anymore since I formatted all my partitions (including the hidden partitions made by Acer).

My guess is, that your touchpad was failing, because when you take your battery out of the computer, you will reset it

 

That would be Acer's Arcade Instant-On feature. It's supposed to boot up when you press the Arcade button when your computer's off, and it resides in a Windows XP Embedded installation on a hidden partition after your D: drive.

However, there's a glitch that causes Arcade Instant-On to boot occasionally if your computer was shut down with the HOLD button on the CineDash on. According to someone else on the forum, BIOS version 1.16 fixes this issue.
And apparently since Arcade Instant-On uses Windows XP, it might delete your Vista system recovery points (it did that to me).

Personally, I found Arcade Instant-On useless and nuked the damn thing when I did a clean install of Vista.
