1. I have the latest BIOS version
BIOS Version: F.31
I have installed Windows 7 on an Acer laptop many times and there were no problems there.
The first time I saw the blue screen of death on HP laptop with error
***STOP 0x000000A5 (0x0000000000000011, 0x0000000000000008, 0xFFFFFFFFFFD1, 0x0000000000040000)
This error appears when installing Windows 7. I choose a flash drive and after 10 seconds a blue screen comes out.
I updated the bios today 2 times but it didn't help
I wrote this error in google and this error is often on Lenovo laptops and nothing about HP laptops
Help please...
