Hello Coonut,

Thank you for your reply,

I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

Refer the link to create the installation disk:

Hi

I am really stuck with my brand new Aspire M5-481PT. Its not even a month that I am using it. Yesterday it showed the problem "Your PC ran into a problem. We are looking for errors and will restart for you..." The screen goes into "Diagnosing you PC"..couple of minutes later it shows "Preparing Automatic Repair"...and later followed by " Repairing Disk errors. This could take one hour or more."

I have been waiting to check on and nothing happens. The screen goes blank!

Please help me. I started using this only on January 22nd 2013.

Now my computer fails to play sounds (in any circunstance, media player, web, system sounds, etc) and the video playback is really slow... I've seen some users complaining about this issue and it seems to be solved by just restarting the system... For me this means a high risk of facing the automatic repair loop once more :/...

Will Microsoft take much more time to came up with a solution to all this major faults? Its desapointing at least...

EDIT: suddenly my video/audio problems disapeared with no reason. Still didn't restarted my computer.

Lockscreen if it shows at all changes to blue-ish purple flickering screwn with arrow and circular loading mouse tip but nothing happens after that.

That sounds like it might be more viewable on an attached monitor.   Do you have one?   Press Win-P, CursorUp, Enter in any case.

Also, try disconnecting all unessential devices.   I finally saw something like people are describing yesterday.   Turns out I had forgotten to remove a suspect USB flash drive that was hanging the boot.   I have left it in to try to see it again but so far no luck.   I think it was stuck in a driver, hence no interrupts allowed.   No sign of hard drive activity but my fan was going non-stop.   Another sign that interrupts were blocked is that I left it in that state for over an hour (so longer than it would take to get into the black screen state or the Sleep state) but there was still no change.

Otherwise another thing that I recently became aware of is the possibility of pressing Shift-F10 to get to a WinPE command line (unless that option is suppressed by the package.)   If that worked it could be a lot simpler than trying to navigate the login screen in the dark.   Of course that assumes that that transition would happen on a viewable monitor.   ; )

Good luck

Robert
