XP Ghost Image Shuts Down TabletPC


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm at a loss with this one. I've been fighting with it for over a week and maybe some fresh minds can help.

I've been given the task of creating a new, fresh image for work. Developing it in VMWare 5.5, the single image is supposed to be deployable to desktops, laptops and tablets. And this works, except for the new Motion 1700 tablet.

We have been using the Motion 1600 tablet, and my new image works perfectly on it. The same image on the 1700 fails to boot. During boot up, shortly after the "Windows XP" progress animation clears, the 1700 just shuts off. I pulled the event logs from the machine (booting WinPE) but they're emtpy.

I built the 1700 from scratch, starting with the XP CD so I could compare things like the HAL and mass storage drivers, but they all match up with what I have built in VMWare.

I've tried Safe Mode, but it too will just shut down.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Mike

Sounds like a hardware problem. Likely not enough cooling.

No, I don't think so. I can build the machine from scratch and it run just fine. It only has this shutoff issue when using the Ghost image that I use on other machines.
