on startup. my sister sent me her Gateway computer, it worked find for a couple of days then earlier this week while I was on the net it just froze up on me, I couldn't use the mouse or anything else. so I rebooted and it froze and continues to freeze up after. every now and then I can get as far as the user account icon.
I'm running WinXP as it says in the Topic title. I have tried to boot from the WinXP installation cd and that hangs up too and it gets to the Windows Setup screen when it is loading files. I have also tried another hard drive with the same results. it also will not boot in the safe mode either.
does anyone have any ideas. if you need more info please let me know
Hi,
Sounds like hardwaretrouble to me.
You might have bad memory or an erratic motherboard or something like that.
To eliminate this possibility I think I would try to boot into another OS, just to check if that runs stable.
eg:
- DOS (if you have diskettes for it)
But first check your BIOS (hit DEL or F2 or whatever), and make sure the BIOS displays all POST messages, so no splash screens.
Make sure BIOS performs a memorytest.
Regards,
