jun Posted June 28, 2008 CID Share Posted June 28, 2008 HEELP! At times my PC runs at start up then it freezes when the Window OS loads or yet it fails to show on screen. Do I have to replace the memory module or power supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted June 28, 2008 CID Share Posted June 28, 2008 Is this the same computer as the one with the sound problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted June 28, 2008 CID Share Posted June 28, 2008 Could mean quite a number of things. I always reccomend running " scf /scannow " in a shell. This places all system files to there original state. More times then not, any number if files are moved, edited, and or deleted for the sake of installations. Takes quite some time, close all programs and have at it. If this doesn't solve your dilemma, I would clean all the " junk " out that you know you don't need, or use. Well, do that anyway, just be thorough about it. There very well may be hardware issues, but by cleaning and pruning the system, you can nearly rule out software. Think back to when the system began acting up, did you install something just then , or soon before the issues started ? If so, uninstall the program w/ it's included un installation program in " add and remove programs ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted June 30, 2008 CID Share Posted June 30, 2008 it's a command prompt, so you'll have to start > run > type "cmd" , when the window comes up, then at your username, type " sfc /scannow " . Or look in accessories in start > program files > accessories> command prompt. You'll need your installation disk to complete this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
