That was the conclusion I came to.
Sadly the ram is onboard and not removable.
There is an expansion slot, but afaik adding won't work if the onboard is knackered?

whats the make and model ?

[groundhog]

Asus a54c

[cigarmo]

Yes that model has integrated ram with one slot for expansion, if the on board is bad then your screwed. Keep switching it on and off quickly three times see if it boots to recovery options

[groundhog]

Have tried the recovery options, which leads to bsod every time.
That was why I thought I'd try to boot from disk.
Gutted :-(
Although, as they say, every cloud!

Any recommendations for a sub ?300 laptop?
I already have a chromebook, which I adore, but it can't do my home neworking / downloading stuff, so sadly I still need a laptop.

Pc world had some hp ones on offer

Am quite tempted by this:

Or this:

I would go for the 339 one double the ram and storage of the other one

[groundhog]

That's what I'm thinking - although the cheaper one will be even cheaper at noon today!

Haha! I agree totally with a IT service award for senor Mo (get into it senor serious....and give yourself one while you're at it for past services). I also noted as others that senor Mo had taken over for the so-called "butters bot" which I believe is actually a bb poser in my view if i am honest

Again, I implore you, please start a new thread in this forum for each new issue, noting the issue in the subject line. It will be so much easier to search and follow. Put another way, you wouldn't want all the fine puro reviews to be lumped into one giagastic thread, now would you?

That'd be crazy!!!

This is a generous offer of IT assistance, but I think it would be better if each issue were discussed on this forum (Computer Discussion/Help) on a separate thread, rather than combining all the issues under what likely will become a massive thread. Separate threads for each issue would make it easier to follow and search.

Just as suggestion, but as for making this a sticky, as the Magical Moderator....I'm Out!
