Try the laptop mftr. tech support. Basically, without being able to see
the laptop, I can't think of anything else. There are so many different
combinations of hardware and software in pc's, and so many error
messages. Maybe yours will strike a chord with someone, but it isn't
familiar to me.

Good luck,
