hi sometimes when i switch my computer on it wont start up properly. i switch it on, it then gives the logo on screen where i can change boot method, setup etc, and then nothing (normally the windows xp loading logo comes up but it doesnt). so i have to switch it off and try again - sometimes it can take upto 15 times to get it going some info on computer amd athlon 64 processor 3000+ 2.01 ghz 1.gb ram (2 x 512) samsung 160gb hard drive any ideas or do u need any additional info?
i had proplem like this awhile back what i did to fix it is reinstaled windows xp again after that it worked perfect PS (if u bought the pc already build like from hp,compaq,sony,etc use the recovery disk)dont forget to back evrything ON ANOTHER PC before u do that on or try windows repair I DONT KNOW IF THERES ANOTHER WAY TO FIX IT
First thing I would do is check your powersupply and make sure it isn't faulty, as thats a viable option. Another less likely thing is BIOS problems, but thats a longshot. To check your power supply, borrow one from someone elses pc, to be safe make sure the power rating is equal or higher than your current PSU, swap them out and try and boot it.
I would consider doing the following: reseat all boards, cables, and the memory (off course with the power off).
i tried doing a system restore to before i had a problem and hey presto all seems to be ok now thanks for all the help guys and girls
