MY computer wont start up. It cant go to the log in screen. I start it up and it runs through everything and before it goes to the log in screen and then it just restarts and the whole thing happens again.
View 2 RepliesI was playing a game and I rebooted my computer. When i went to start it it went to the a blank blue screen before the account screen in the beginning of XP. I know i can restore to new but i will have lost so much information that it would take about 3 months to retain it all back. It says it can not find operating system. I need help in a serious way. all advice and solutions are requested.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I turn on my compuiter it goes to a blue screen and says that a problem has occurred with my computer and that the computer will not operate because it may lose important data. It tells me that if this is the first time then to restart the computer but if this is happening on additional times then to contact someone. It talks about an BIODS (I think that is the initals). Then sometimes it will go to the startup screen but will not show any of my shortcut icons. While waiting several minutes for the shortcut icons to load it goes back to the blue screen that I just mentioned. My operating system is Windows 2000 and I have Norton Antivirus loaded on this computer.

I tried to find a way to take a picture or something for the blue screen but it restarts a second after the blue screen appears. I couldn't get much information on the bluew screen but I remeber it said something like "no_page_setup" or something similiar. If I don't get the blue screen, sometimes my computer just freezes on me

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my computer won't enter standby mode on its own. Most of the time it won't start a screen saver either. I have it programmed to start the screen saver after 3 minutes and to enter standby mode after 15 minutes. However, I'll come back an hour later only to find that the battery has been completely drained. Anyone know why my computer won't enter standby mode or start its screen saver?

When I start the computer, it asks if for the choice of Safe Mode, w/ Networking, w/Command Prompt or Normally.
I've tried them all and if I try it normally, it won't get past the XP loading screen. It's loading and then it flashes a blue screen for a second and then restarts the computer again.
I tried pressing F8 at boot and selected 'Disable automatic restart on system failure' and this is what I get
STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x83306788, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I even tried using this http://forums.techguy.org/6669592-post28.html to get to chkdsk At boot, F12, chose CD/DVD, but still nothing, I even tried disabling boot from +HDD, FDD and LAN from the bios setup menu to see if it works and this is what I got, it just keeps going on and on unless I enable boot from +HDD

I was just typing along in a word document when my whole screen on my laptop flipped. File, Edit etc are across the bottom and start and all those things normally across the bottom are on the top - but upside down. The mouse is working backwards as well. MAJOR PAIN. When I restart it, the Windows screen comes up correctly but from the login screen on everything is flipped. I just use that computer for word processing not the internet so I'm hoping it is not a virus. I tried restoring the system

I wanted to start fresh and the recovery system for windows gives me only a limited number of dates. I thought that the Viao recovery would do the job.I was wrong. I haven't checked recent forums about problems with this, so I went ahead and broke my laptop. Before the Recovery system starts, my laptop says, with a black background.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently my Dell 4600 with XP would give me a welcome/log on screen at start up, which it never did before in the 8 months I have owned it. On the screen is my main and only identity with the icon that I chose for this identity. I am given the option to click the identity I wish to use or shut down my computer. When I click on the icon for the identity a message comes up for no longer than one second that says "loading profile", then the screen blinks, and it then says "logging off", and I am taken back to the main log on screen with the icon and identity name. The only way I have been able to get back into XP is to do a reinstall from the rescue disk, but each time I shut the computer off the same thing starts up when I power up. I have norton 2005 with the current definitions, I have used a few web based virus scan programs, and I have run several spyware scans to no avail. The Dell tech. does not know what to say other than I must have a virus, but I dont think that I do.

View 8 Replies View Relatedmy computer would give me a few problems while booting up. I would start the computer, it would run through BIOS, run through the Windows loading screen, and after that it would run the CHKDSK to make sure my disks are fine. CHKDSK doesn't work, it just freezes right before checking the disks, so I restart and generally it will boot up. Most of the time it would boot up perfectly, but rarely would it go to the xp loading screen and then flicker as if it as going to go to the windows login screen but wouldn't. The screen would just stay black and I'd have to restart.
Next time, generally it would work perfect.So this brings me to the current day. After the windows xp loading screen, it goes black. The computer is on, but I don't see any activity for the HDD via the LED. SO i go into safe mode, i finally get CHKDSK to run, I had to really mess with some stuff to get that working. Windows says the volume is fine, and the only way I can boot my PC is in safe mode, but even that will freeze sometimes while loading some of the files.
I have windows 2000 professional and cannot remove the log on window when my computer starts up.
