    hi guys!
    it's been like a year when i bought my aspire 5920g and everything run fine.
    It's been about one month that sometimes the computer hangs up at welcome screen or loading the taskbar( the icons are loaded but you cant press them) and the mouse pointer keeps spinning(like it's busy) and nothing happens and I cannot press anything. So i have to restart the pc manually and run a check disk, and every time the problem is solved (this is annoying). But these days the chkdsk command cannot resolve the problem.
    Today after welcome screen it hangs on black background and only the cursor can move. I restarted several time and it keeps freezing. So basically i cant start windows.
    So what should i do? Thanks.

    4GB ddr
    Intel centrino @2.4
    Nvidia 8600m GS
    hdd hitachi HTS542525K9SA00 250GB
    WIn7 Home premium x64

    Sounds like your hard drive might be going; hence why chkdsk runs into issues.
    Time to ring up Acer and get that thing replaced.

    Western Digital Scorpio Black, 250gb, 7200rpm.
    Got it also in my Aspire 5920g. It's much faster than the original 5400rpm.
