phrankl Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 If it's not a hardware issue, might try tapping the space bar as it begins the boot process. (Just tap it once every second or so.) If it comes up to a black screen with "Last know good configuration," try hi-lighting that. Hit enter, and hopefully your PC will boot okay. Good Luck!

phrankl Posted January 5, 2006 CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 To boot to cmd or Safe Mode (I'd try "Safe," first,) keep tapping "F8" (function key 8,) usually at the top of your keyboard, as your system boots. If "Safe mode" is an option, try that first. Then go to device manager and look for yellow question marks in the list of various devices. One of those may or may not be causing you a problem. Sound cards, NICs, can be a problem, if you've got corrupted drivers. If your PC does boot, I'd be sure to copy files that you want to keep on to good another partition than your boot partition. Most PCs boot to "C:" drive, of course. Programs you can always reload, but you don't want to lose your data! Maybe this will help.

Dark_Matter Posted January 5, 2006 CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 Truth is it could be about a million or more different things. Have you installed anything new? Sometimes a program can conflict with a system configuration, and cause the lovely blue screen. I hope you get it fix, but sometimes a total reinstall is the only thing that can fix these things i hope that's not true in your case, but as long as you backed up your computer on a regualr basis even if you have to reinstall things will be fine. If you didn't backup on a regular basis this might get you to start doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted January 5, 2006 CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 The dreaded nasty blue screen is due to an IRQ CONFLICT, usually acquired with installing a new driver of some kind or new hardware installed,, or an update to a piece of hardware,, could one of these have been done without you knowing?? Anyway usually booting up in safemode and uninstalling the device in DEVICE MANAGER (conflict) will fix the problem, this usually happens to 1 out of 25 people...
