hey, ive been to ms.com looking for answers...no help. im having trouble starting my pc. i hit the power button, the lights come on, fans start running then it just dies. at first i thought it might be a power supply problem, but then i noticed if i hold my finger in the rester button while hitting the power button, the lights stay on and the fans keep running untill i release my finger from the reset button and it all dies again. i tried this about 30X this morning, sometimes it would allmost start then just die. till eventually and for no particular reason it just started up. she ran fine all day. that is untill i went to shut her down. she wont. i go to start/shutdown....the shutdown menu comes up, i select shutdown press ok, and she just returns to my desktop. what the fuck is going on? she's like an old car or something that needs a few times to start. i have taken to putting her into hibernation mode instead of shutting down. this seems to work, so obviously its not a power supply problem. but what the fuck is it? all my drives are working fine its just not booting. in fact half the time she shuts down before even checking the floppy drive (the light doesnt come on) anyway, anyone evr had this problem? something to do with windows maybe? im running a dual PII 500Mhz PC with win 2k pro. help! ..... please. thorpe. ps: i have windows in a seperate drive all by itself. if i do a reinstall will it effect any other programs. i meen will it reset my registry? |

I feel for you dude! My harddrive crashed a couple of weeks ago. that sucked! anyways. it sounds like your motherboard (or mayby just your BIOS) is totalty fucked up. that's not a professional opinion though. :) |

ever since I built my pc myself (all parts from a local computer fair), everytime I go to boot up I will get a black screen (the pc sounds to be running (fans and hardrive light are go)). Now that state will remain untill I hit the reset button, but theres one glitch I have to wait at least 2-5 minutes before it will actually boot up and not return to the same black screen, it's weired, it's almost like it needs to be warmed up before it runs? |
