Acer Aspire Issue

I wasnt sure where to go with this one, but you guys seemed to help a lot of people out!

I have an Acer Aspire 1692wlmi which is about 2 years old. About a month ago i experienced a Blue screen with a message c0000135 (unable to locate component) This application has failed to start because CRSRV.dll was not found.

This was using Windows Vista, i rebooted the machine and it gave me the options of starting in safe mode etc, but this would take me to the screen instructing me to load the OS disc.

I loaded the Vista disc and ran the memory diagnostic tool (no errors), then ran the repair my system option. This seemed to work as it told me to reboot to effect the repair. Vista loaded succesfully and i managed to use it for 5 mins before it Blue screened (with no message) and rebooted. This happens everytime.

I then reverted back to the Acer recovery discs, did a complete reformat of the system partition and reinstalled the supplied XP. Again this works for 5mins or so then blue screens.

I have tried running registry fix programs etc but the laptop wont stay on long enough for this to complete.

Before i send this to a repair shop and pay money do any of you have any ideas?

I appreciate your help with this one

 

^Bump, anybody any advice? Anyone had anything like it?

 

crel:

Seems like there is a fault on the mobo if this is happening. Generally symptoms such as this occur when hardware is not registering properly through the device interfaces.

Possibilities:

Mobo shortage
Ram went bad (run memcheck86 from a bootable cd iso)
Other peripherals are faulting.

In order to diagnose this, you would have to step through each thing to get it to work, the only problem, youre running a laptop, so most of the components are built straight into the motherboard.
