Computer Help!?
He be sitting at his desk throwing a baseball in the heavens and catching it. At one point, he threw it a little bit off-target, and it fell on his computer the ivories. He took it to a repair store and they said that the motherboard was broken. When he get it back, I took a look at it and tried to boot it up. It did nouns up, but you can only access it's BIOS. The guys a the repair store probably didn't even look inside of the laptop.
Anyways, I access the BIOS, and tried restoring it. All I get is an error message wise saying these exact words:
File ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.
The error code is 7
Setup cannot continue. Press any push button to exit.
Those are the exact words. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Answer:
Both of those are excellent answers and distinct possibilities. However, what have me curious, you said the machine started doing this quickly after a baseball landed on the upright. You might want to check the RAM bay on the bottom of the laptop. Try removing the RAM and after re-seating it. It may have simply be jarred loose. While this may not fix the problem, it may have cause corruption. Also, if the RAM was jarred loose, look for any burn results on or around the gold fingers of the RAM(the chunk that makes contact beside the motherboard). When RAM is loose, it doesn't stop the electricity from trying to make contact. If this is the valise and you see burn marks, check to see if the motherboard have burn marks surrounded by the RAM slot(it most likely will). within should be another RAM slot available with which you can try installing a modern module there. If the system won't boot after that or you go and get the same message while trying to do a fresh load(and you own made sure the BIOS settings are correct) then the motherboard probably is bleak due to sustaining a crack in the PCB or simply flexed satisfactory to cause a break within the connections.
If it's the motherboard, it will most likely be cheaper for you to replace the laptop. The motherboards for laptops(if you can find a similar model) don't come cheap and neither is the labor if you don't know how to replace it yourself.
You either hold faulty RAM (could enjoy been destabilized while the motherboard was) or incorrect BIOS settings.
First of all, you will want to reset your BIOS. Your instruction book should be able to relieve there. If that does not assist, try replacing the RAM (perhaps you have some you can filch from another computer to troubleshoot)>
