Hard Drive Is Going Bad - Computer Would Freeze Up While Booting Up
Apr 30, 2009Every 3-4days my computer would freeze up while booting up at windows XP screen and scroll bars would freeze.What bohers me about this is i am sure what could be causing this. I use avg as my antivirus,and run A2, spybot,regcleaner, tweaknow on a weekly basis. I keep my system really clean, so now i am wondering is it my HD. PC: Win XP-PRO, 800MHZ AMD Athlon, 1024mb,80gHD. I did what cleaning i could in safemode, it still freeze on scroll bars. I tried last good config, result is the same. The last time i got pass the freezing was by doing a restore.

Sep 23, 2007This computer stopped booting. It would freeze in the process. Since there was nothing on the hard drive worth saving, I used the recovery boot cd. It went though the process, rebooted, and returned to the setup process. In the middle of the setup, while installing devices, the computer froze again. I have tried repeating the process to no avail. I have tried turning off some of the not so necessary things in the BIOS and trying it.

Sep 15, 2006I have a problem which i have occuring on 3 machines (2 in my home, 1 at my parents). When the PC first boots, it goes through the welcome screen, in to the desktop and loads all the programs, virus killer, etc. Problem is, it will then freeze, but not in the normal way. When it has froze, you can still move the mouse, double click icons, click start button and navigate menus, right click to get menus etc, BUT if you try and run anything, or select a program from start menu
select an option on right click, it hourglasses for a few seconds then carries on, but just doesn't open the program or perform the action you requested. Its almost like it will do anything but start a new program or process. After a few minutes (between 2 and 8), it will unfreeze and everything you attempted to do, all the programs you double clicked, options you chose, all happen in one go. From then on it doesn't do it again, so seems to only be on boot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBooting - Freeze Up - First Set Of Hard Drives
Jan 12, 2007I was working on the computer yesterday when it froze up on me. I didn't think much of it, so I rebooted and continued what I was doing. Later that same day, the computer locked up about 2-3 more times. Then I started hearing ticking noises coming from inside. I shut it off after it froze again. When I powered it back on, the screen during bootup that displays my Hard drive's status (I have four HDs, paired up with one another), says that the first set of hard drives (which is where the OS is on) is healthy, and on the other set, it gets an error with red text. I rebooted, and sure enough, they were both healthy again.
This is where it messes up. It starting loading the Windows logo, with the progress bar. The next thing it does is go black. It doesn't boot at all after that. I have to reboot everytime. I then tried to boot in safe mode. Black screen again. I tried all the possible options in the boot menu, none of them worked. That's where my first problem takes off. So I now have a non-booting OS. The next thing I do is insert the Windows boot disk, and installed Windows XP on the same HD the original OS was on (Don't ask why, I don't know either). After the installation, Windows booted up fine, except I was running on a fresh install. Which how I'm on this site...........
Laptop Takes 10-15 Minutes To Boot Up?

Jan 28, 2007I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I'm unable to shut down my laptop. It's HP branded and runs on XP Pro. What happens is that it sits or seems to be stuck on the process of "closing network connection" when trying to shut it down. It takes about 25 minutes to shut down because of this "closing network connection". I wonder if anyone might be able to tell me what may be the cause and how to fix this? If i can ask what's really happening in the event of "Closing network connection" during shutdown process?

Laptop Not Booting To Desktop
Jan 21, 2009Due (I think) to a virus my XP Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gd_080 814-1236 will not boot to Windows properly. I just get a blank screen. I can CTRL/ALT/DEL to get Task Manager and then run a task from there, including MSCONFIG or a browser but the thing will not give me any options when I boot and often will boot into Safe mode - and again I cannot do anything with it.

Laptop Not Booting At All - Cant Format
Jul 25, 2008My laptop can't boot itself. When I try boot it, it flashes some error about ntdetect (or something) after the bios splash. And then it reboots on its own.
I've tried to boot from CD (with various software) but then I can't find the C: drive where it should boot (so I could copy the ntdetect file into its place). I could format the whole thing but I got some files that I really needed..
So is there any suggestions from anybody for this problem? Is there a way to copy the files from the hard drive or something.. I'm getting quite desperate with this thing

View 1 Replies View RelatedLaptop Is In A Booting Loop - Very Slow
Aug 5, 2007I started getting ad popups and it started running very slowly. I didnt think anything of it at first but then it started freezing and having a hard time closing windows and it was BARLEY running. And the bar at the bottom would disappear. I had to restart the dern thing 5 times just bc even ctrl/alt/del didnt even work closing these windows. Then it happened. One day when I was trying to restart it, It was in the middle of booting, and when the 'Windows is starting' screen comes up, the blue one right before you would select a user and put in a password comes up, the laptop just CLICKS OFF then restarts the rebooting loop over and over again.

View 14 Replies View RelatedLaptop Not Booting - Defragged My Hard Drive
Dec 12, 2006I didn't open any suspicious emails, shared on P2P networks and certainly made no changes in system files. Only thing I did was what I do periodically. I defragged my hard drive, uninstalled games and went into msconfig and stopped 3 programs from start up (DEAMON tools, PowerISO and SQL service) I was also having problems with the SpyCop package so I uninstalled and reinstalled.
So I restarted (like I should) and the only process it goes through is the DELL start up "splash screen" After that it usually does the Windows XP "splash screen" but it never does the Windows XP screen, it just stays black, nothing. I pressed F2 to see if anything changed and nothing seemed to, as far as I know. I tried F8 to enter safe mode and a couple lines of text show up and stop and hang. I even tried to let it sit there to see if maybe it's just getting used to the defrag job(s) I did, still black. It's still black as I type this.
Laptop Not Booting Up - Screen Is Blank And Then Frozen
Jun 24, 2005Recently my laptop is unable to boot up. The screen is blank and then frozen. I have to turn it off, unplug everything, and then wait for an hour to restart it again (and then it can boot up as normal). It all started last week after I installed Windows Media Player 10. I tried to restore the system back to a week ago, but the problem is still there.
Also, it always gives out a short "beep" sound after the laptop is ON for about 1 hour. Does it indicate that my mother board is having problem, or is it the hard disk?

I Am up to 11 minutes to boot my JetBook laptop with Win XP pro I also have trouble with battlenet.com and commonaccess.com reappearing in the registry and starup, as I understand it these are malicious things too.

There is a message I receive when booting up looking for a registry item which is at least four (4) boxes which makes no sense, how to do a registry search to delete the value?

May 2, 2006I run Windows XP had to recently restore my laptop.Things are getting back to "normal" except that now when I click on the "start" button and then "turn off computer"I have to wait about 4-5 minutes while the hour glass icon spins before I get the "log off, shutdown, restart" menu. Once this appears and I select "shutdown" everything goes okay and shuts down pretty fast.What might be causing this long delay?
