I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 with Windows 7. Today when I tried to wake it up from sleep mode (open lid), all I had was a blank screen but it was still on. Now this has happen to me lately (a couple of months), so I had to do a hard rest. After that it would boot up until the windows loading screen and then reboot again after a quick flash of a blue screen of death.
I tried re-seating the memory, I opened her up to clean the inside which I do to prevent dust from collecting every couple of months. Now it powers up but I get a blank screen with numeric keypad light on, the upper letter function and scroll function light flashing. Anybody run into a problem like this?
Update:
I got it to boot removing a bad ram chip but it keeps rebooting once windows is loading with a quick flash of BSOD.
Update 2: Ok got it back running after running windows repair from the windows 7 disk. What sucks is that I'm running on 512 mb of ram and the hard drive has some bad sector.
