ACER Aspire ONE AO751h cannot load any OS

[mferna14]

Hi All., I have a ACER Aspire ONE AO751h (11.6"). All of a sudden the OS got corrupted & had to be restored back. I saw YouTube & Windows 10 could be restored easily. I tried to restore it with Windows 10 but at the Windows 10 logo screen it just freezes up. I re-programmed the BIOS chip first & still the same problem. Replaced with known good HDD, Memory & good CMOS battery, set all the BIOS setup values, still the same. Then I tried to restore with Windows XP (Originally comes with Windows XP), it boots up completely but when it says "Starting Windows XP" it just freezes on this screen & nothing much can be done rather than turning it off & re-starting the notebook again. I think it related to a hardware component., Can anyone help from where to start from? thanks for all the help.

enter the bios ...Reboot the Acer and press F2 at the “splash screen” to go into the BIOS settings..and look for uefi then change it

errr. this is an XP-LAPTOP! maybe hdd-mode IDE/AHCI, but never uefi... renew cmos-bat then

this board has no uefi, would be super rare

This is an old garbage Atom that doesn't even support 64-bit. No way it's gonna run Windows 10 properly.
Anyway I got one of these that only POST sometimes and freezes soon after. I suspect a failing SCH, but since this machine doesn't have any value (and mine has broken chassis&LCD on top of that) I didn't try to fix it.

Thanks for all the support... Yes this is a Windows XP machine & the motherboard is just $30, the reason why I am repairing it is because the notebook is kept so neat & with extreme care, one cannot even notice a scratch on it. This BIOS does not have the UEFI option, I too assumed it's a failing SCH as all the memory controls are coming from this chip & sometimes no display with a another memory module. Might as well I will purchase a new board which is cheaper than the costly SCH chip costing $60.
