    Hi everyone! New to this forum and I need help! (figured i join this forum so people would know what theyre talking about)

    I bought my laptop for not even a year, all brandnew. It was doing fine, until it started to shutdown by itself while im in the middle of something, that happen a few days ago. Then this morning, I tried to turn on my laptop it went pass the blue screen with the bird (i have windows 7 btw, i think 64bit) then went to black screen with the underscore line blinking (like in DOS screen, thats how far it goes.

    I tried to do the assist button wherein you can do a recovery wizard, but it doesnt do a thing for me to recover something, or maybe im not doing it right. That's why i need you help. Why it doesnt boot up, the recovery wizard not working and all.

    *take note that my brother puts a new memory stick so he changed the stock ones. And problem is. We'r trying to put it all in stock but we couldnt find the stock memory! Pffft!

    Would really appreciate the help guys! Thank you

    From your wording the implication is that your problems began when you installed some new ram. It sounds like you installed some bad ram.
    If you can't find the original memory sticks, then maybe it's time to go get some more ram. :rolleyes:
