    hi all,
    my acer aspire 5920g is stopping on boot whit black screen and it does 1 beep, then 2 other beeps, then 2 others beeps; on phoenix beep codes page i found :
    "1-2-2 DMA failure The DMA controller has failed. Replace the IC if possible"

    Actually what i shoul'd do? What actually means 'replace the interrupt controller'?

    thanx.
