    Here we go again,

    Recently got a CF-NDHZXVM, loaded winxp, drivers, updates and all worked fine for a few days. Then yesterday, up pops the blue screen of death, flashes only, then, says memory dump and shuts off. Tried four time to restart, no luck first three times, then four no problem. Few minutes later, Blue screen, now it stays on and give somthing like winsys32 error.

    I try to look up the code, and it seems to relate to a corrupted driver or something.

    OK, I reformat the drive, reinstal XP, all the drivers, and it works fine.

    Today, I turn it on, and ten minutes later, blue scren of death flashes, and now it wont refire at all. Power green light shows, nothing else goes on. tried four or five times, no joy. Pulled the HD out, tried it again, still no cycle, doesnt go to the bios, so Im assuming its not the HD.

    Yes, its a Mrk 5 digitizer CF-18, and I know how these are problematic, but damm, this aint no fun.

    Other than checking the RAM, any thoughts?

    pull the power cycle the switch....you know the drill after changing ram.

    Oh yeah, do you have an SD card plugged in or anything? Maybe a bios upgrade if you can later.

    If that doesn't work pull the wifi card. No bios update that I know of.
