Joined Apr 2, Messages For the past several weeks, my computer has been either freezing at "Verifying DMI Pool Data" or constantly restarting at that point. It happens most of the time now, but not always. Here are some of the things I've tried I'm not sure I can remember them all -- they all worked at first, then problem returned. Avast av scan. Came up clean. Seemed to help for a while. Seemed to help at first, then problem returned. Now sometimes I can't even get that far. It was a version from just a few days earlier.
Seemed to help at first, then problem returned back to restart loop. It's not an overheating problem because, if anything, the problem is WORSE first thing in the morning when it's cold.
Which makes me think maybe a short somewhere? Or am I thinking in the wrong realm? I'm starting to wonder if all the above were actually just placebos and coincidences, and really didn't help at all, but since it's an intermittent problem they SEEMED to help temporarily.
Could it need a new computer battery? Thanks a bunch in advance! Joined Jan 27, Messages , Thank you, AcaCandy. As it happens, I have been working from that very link for the past several days and have tried everything my level of expertise would allow.
I know nothing about partitions, and cannot reinstall my os because I got my computer used, and there were no cd's included. I have also tried entering Setup, but that was all Greek to me. Any other suggestions? Thanks again. Rollin' Rog. Joined Dec 9, Messages 45, It might be a problem with the CMOS battery 3 bucks to replace and test.
It's just a quarter sized silver lithium battery held down by a clip. You've seen them around. One common fix that works about half the time for freezing at the verifying dmi pool stage is to go into the BIOS and look for the option to "reset configuration data" ESCD. Thank you, Rollin' Rog.
Since rebooting is now such an iffy thing for my poor computer, I haven't tried your BIOS suggestion yet, but definitely will the next time I'm forced to reboot. I got the computer second-hand and the battery hasn't been changed in the two years I've owned it, so I'm also planning to take the cover off before I reboot to see what kind of battery it uses.
Then I'll replace it. Then after changing the battery, I have to go back into Setup again and put all the settings back the way they were. Will it all be gone afterward? I'll do it if necessary, of course, but would hate to spend all that time on it if it ISN'T necessary. Then you will be asked if you're sure to load the defaults. You can press Y on the keyboard for yes or arrow to the yes option. If resetting BIOS to the default values cannot help resolve your boot issues, you may also want to reset the configuration data.
If not, you need to create a Windows installation USB drive which is very simple. Then boot from the installation media. Select your language preferences, and click on Next button to continue. Then choose Repair your computer on the bottom left corner. Type bootrec. After trying above fixes, if your computer still freezes at the DMI message verifying DMI pool data, it may be a sign that one of your hardware components is malfunctioning.
In this case, I suggest you perform a clean install. Boot from the Windows installation USB drive. If you do not have one, create one with Windows Media Creation Tool.
On the Windows setup page, choose language preferences, and then click Next to continue. Choose the operating system you want to install and click Next. Choose [Custom: Install Windows only advanced ] to perform a clean install. Then just follow the on-screen instructions to complete the clean install. After trying the fixes in this post, I successfully fixed the verifying DMI pool data stuck when loading Windows operating system.

Read More. Note: In the bootable edition, every partition will be assigned as a drive letter, including system reserved partition. So the drive letter of every partition on your computer can be changed. You can pay attention to the partition size to make sure you choose the right partition to recover.
I'm glad it worked out for you with minimal frustration and bloodshed. I've been looking for forums about 5 days and I give the solution, if it finally can not install Windows 7, I hope that at least you can install Windows Vista or Windows XP without problems. Do you know the final solution for this? I am desperate. Would greatly appreciate your help or collaboration. A greeting from Spain. If you guys have tried all of the above steps I mentioned initially without success, then chances are very good your BIOS chip is fried.
In which case, there is nothing you can do, short of contacting the motherboard manufacturer. Hello Mike. Did you ever get anywhere with the BIOS below? I had the exact same problem, same machine! Now stuck. Jeff Mockridge. Basically it bricks the computer if you try and upgrade the BIOS. Bad news! Nice of Acer to post this without the appropriate instructions!
Apparently if you unprotect the Boot block first it works! Yup, I am definitely sure it's not worth paying them to fix the bios. It would just be nice if they would publish the fact that the whole system will brick if you begin the process without unprotecting the boot block first.
Looks in nice condition, but haven't plugged it in yet I am a computer technician. I have had this problem with many similar Acer tower models AMxxxx. When re-installing the operating system I have seen the hanging after Verifying DMI pool data and then nothing I have then taken the same computer and re-installed it with the factory restore discs created by the E recovery management program that is installed from the factory and the computer will function correctly.
I know this solution will not work unless you can get your hands on the recovery media for your model or similar. I now make it a practice to burn the recovery discs for these Acer machines so I have them onhand for cases like this. I have also used recovery discs from a "similar" model where the last digits after the dash do not match and have had it work on several machines. This tells me that it is not always a hardware issue. Possibly a driver???
If I find more details in my research I will post back I had the same..
