I would check the obvious first, such as, is it overheating?? I would open
the case, and check to see if there's excessive dust build up, and make sure
all the fans are running 1st. If all is good, then try the restore, and if
still no love, look into your RAM. Process of elimination..... Hope this
helps!

you need to put in your windows cd boot to cd let it go like is going to
install. when it sees you already have a system on the drive it will ask
if
you want to repair the current system. Select that option. Your pictures
will
still be there but the registry will rewrite so you have to reinstall the
software for your applications. All your data files will still be there.
Good luck to you. You shouldn't have a problem

Just got back from a 7 month deployment overseas. Wife says the
computer (Medion, Windows XP Home, 3.2GHz Pentium IV Hyper-Thread,
512 DDR SDRAM, dual layer DVD/CD+/-RW x2, no floppy) not sure what
else might help) would randomly restart on its own and boot back up.
This got progressively worse during the past week. Uninstalled a
bunch of Nikelodian flash games the kids had downloaded. Yesterday, I
updated Spybot and Ad-Aware, ran them, and cleaned up a few other
things.
Then, for no reason, the computer shut off. The Microsoft logo came up
(the blue bar got half way across), I saw the "blue screen"
for a split second, then the following options came up for
restarting:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Start Windows Normally (last known good configuration)
I started with Start Normally, no joy. Proceeded through the other
three options, no joy. Can't even get in through Safe Mode. If I let
it count down the 30 seconds, it will just keep trying to boot and
never get there. I F8 in Advanced Options during the next boot
attempt and none of those options worked either. I did Disable the
auto restart so I could see what error codes came up on the
"blue screen." This is what I got (minus some other text
about power interruptions:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer. If this is the the first time you've seen
this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears
again, follow these steps: Disable or uninstall any any anti-virus,
disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive for
configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to
check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
Technical information: *** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x823790B0,
0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I tried to use the System Recovery disk that came with the computer to
boot from it. When selecting CD-ROM it gives me these choices:
1. Recovery of Startup Files
2. Recovery of System & Driver Files
3. Restoring Factory Settings
4. Reboot
Option 1 didn't work. It keeps starting over and asks if I want to
boot from the Hard Drive or the CD-ROM. Just a neverending circle.
Option 2, no joy, didn't do much. And I'd prefer not to restore to
factory settings or anything that will require me to format my
harddrive at this point. I have too many family pictures and personal
files that I can't afford to lose, especially since none of them have
been backed up to disk in the 7 months that I was away.
Appreciate any help.
V/R,
John
