aspire 5100 blue screen

Hi to all, I'm new to this forum but from what I've seen so far I think it's a very good site with lots of helpful information.Well done.
My problem is I have an old aspire 5100 which has been playing up for a long time, everytime it comes out of standby I get a blue screen and than it reboots and does a scan disc any one has this happen to them. Would be grateful for any info.Thanks.

 

Blue screens mean one of the following:
a- your Windows is corrupted and needs fixing
b- you have a faulty ram
c- you have a corrupted or faulty harddrive.

The first thing you should do is backup your files. Then download memetest, it's a freeware, and use it to test your ram. If there is no problem with your ram you should move into testing your harddrive. For that you need to know your harddrive manufacturer website. If you don't want to dismental your laptop to check the manufacturer name then use PCWizard to find it out (you can download it from here). Once you know the manufacturer name go to their website and look for their haddrive repair software. You might find it under the support/ download section of their website. If there is no error reported after scanning your harddrive this would mean that your Windows installation is corrupted. To fix it you need Windows installation CD. One of the option on the CD is to repair your existing Windows installation. If this doesn't work you might have to re-install Windows from scratch (i.e. to do a fresh install).

 

Thanks Naton for your info, I have run the memetest I let it do 5 passes as I wasn't sure how many passes it had to do but there were no errors.But when I did the hard drive test I had 3 errors so I changed the drive now I will try the test again and see what comes up.Will let you know what the outcome is.
Cheers

 

Hi Naton changed hard drive but still the same problem.banging on one side seems to help though.

 

Would it be too much to ask what the blue screen error says ?

Photograph /video to read if it reboots too quickly
