I checked out several sites but it dont look like that there is a dsdt patch file for my laptop model as far as I can see but thanks for you r help any info on my mission is greatly appreciated
sounds like bad ram. use memtest86 in usb with unetbooting or yumi usb tool or just take out 1 ram and try
bad ram was the first thing i thought of so i tested the ram - both plates pass all tests from hiren and linux and also the build in the bios memory test. the laptop came with 2 plates - 1Gb and 2Gb DDR2 RAM, i tested them also on othe laptops. It must be something in the bios - in the memorty shadow settings or something else, which is actually hidden as i dont have acccess to that part of the bios. The Hard disk itself behaves exactly the same way - it works perfectly on other computers, formats, partitions and everything. Passes also all tests, but when inserted in the laptop and trying to partition/format/write laptop freezes. So far the furthest i got is to execute Vista Home Basic Installation to the point of - Expanding Windows Files - 2% after which it gives bluescreen with the general error. I'm not sure but to me it looks like both RAM and HDD are somehow locked to either an original HP Compaq version of Windows Vista Home Basic or more likely locked to the original factory state of the laptop. What gives me this idea is the fact that i am able to partition and format certain parts of the HDD - like the last 10GB for example which from what i've heard makes sence since original HP compaq Laptops come with HHD that has unpartitioned space around that size used by the HP recovery procedure. Please can anyone help me?? Thax in advance P.S. i will try to make an HP Compaq OEM DVD of Vista Home Basic using a dell OEM dvd and SLIC sources found on this forum with my serial thats on the lable on the back of the laptop. P.P.S. Installation Failed with blue screen and error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
