I have an Aspire X1700 that will not boot. It started out booting to the boot normally or run erecovery screen then go to a blue screen ( I didn't get the error code). I removed the hard drive connected it to my laptop via USB ran chckdsk on it and AVG antivirus. I then ran defragged and tested the drive. while chckdsk found and repaired some errors on the disk the physical disk checked out OK and passed all tests. I reinstalled the drive and tried booting. It would get just past the logo screen and stop with a black screen and the mouse pointer showing (the mouse and keyboard were active but the PC would not responde to input). It would not go into safe mode and it has no backups to restore to either. Running the eRecovery utility did nothing. I ran boot-repair from an Ubuntu live dvd and that did not help. I tried resetting the bios to default settings, that did not help. I set the clear nvram setting to yes thinking maybe clearing the nvram might let it reset itsself. it booted two or three times to the same black screen then quit booting to anything. when I turn it on it will flash the dvd and hard drive lights then sit there without starting the moniter. What can I do to rectify this problem?
