I was given this laptop a few days ago and it was not working when I got it. The previous owner said it just stopped working one day. It's running (or actually, NOT running) Windows XP.
When I start it up:
It displays the IBM logo screen
Then displays black screen saying there was a problem starting windows, start windows normally, safe mode, etc. - selecting "start windows normally"
Then the Windows XP screen with the loading bar
Then goes to the blue screen of death (every time), Even when trying to boot in safe mode after it hangs on this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\agp440.sys
it still goes to BSoD
Before a removed the battery and held down the power button for a minute, it would do all of the above, except going to the blue screen of death, it would just go to a blank black screen.
Need help getting this thing to work!
