Run/ iexplore.exe -extoff If sites load correctly: Manage Add-ons/ Toolbars and Extensions/ All add-ons. Highlight any add-on. CTRL + A. Disable all. Enable them one at a time until it crashes. If I had to guess (and I do), it's: http://www.java.com/en/

For what it's worth, here's my take; It's one of two things. The non- sequential blinking indicates a corrupted bios. Additionally, the power button hold should have reset it. The other is the adapter. The latter is far more likely than the former. Take it to any computer store/shop and have them plug in a good adapter (or if you know anyone with an HP, that will do). Any place that wants a sale will do it for free. &nb

"320" refers to the stock AMD P320 2.1 not the HD. I found no reference to availability of the N550 in that model. My inference was an overclock That said, if that's what he has, that's what he has. If it boots on one stick, it's memory. Failing that, on a powerup, if all the lights are on (including HD) it's booting without visuals and it's the integrated (aka: MB). If all the lights are on (excluding HD), it's the adapter.

A bad AC adapter could have drained the battery....we'll get back to that. As to the memory: Alternately pull each stick and attempt boot with one stick utilizing each slot. As an aside: [quote who="Uvah" reply="3" id="2971832"]AMD cpu @2.6ghz.[/quote] Just out of curiosity, how did you manage that 2.6 on a 320?

[quote who="Uvah" reply="17" id="2971944"]I did notice that the power light where the cord is plugged into the laptop stays red for a while before turning blue.[/quote] I assume you tried this, but.........does this thing boot on battery?

Try one thing before I tell you what you should have done to check memory. Cold boot holding down Fn key and Power button. Look for any lights (other then the CAP) that blink. If you find one, repeat boots until you can get blinks count (short, long, etc).

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="24" id="2970963"]The more I think about this, the more I think that chkdsk /f /r should be run before the 'reinstall' as I think it won't fix some errors.... yrag, what do you think?[/quote] It's a good idea..... the odds are even that it/there could be disk sector errors. The actual sequence of procedures are: Elevated Command: chkdsk /f /r Check for ongoing errors. Elevated Command: <s
