My computer won't start. 1. It can't get past the Windows XP loading screen (where it has that green loading bar) - It just goes to a blue screen that causes the computer to restart immediately. 2. Safe mode doesn't work - It just hangs half way on that DOS screen that shows all the files, and just restarts the computer 3. Last known configuration doesn't work - same thing as what happens when starting up normally Possible causes: 1. I installed some new drivers for my video/graphics card before all of this. I think the drivers I installed might not be compatible with Windows XP somehow, so I may need to uninstall them.. 2. I kicked the plug on my computer accidentally before all this happened, and as soon as I started up my computer, I got the blue screens, etc. and everything explained above. What can I do? - I have the Windows XP CD, but I don't want to format because I have some important files on that computer. Can anyone please help? I'd highly appreciate any help given!
try to enslave your drive to other pc and do scan disk. that will help to renew possible unwell structure of hard drive directory!
I had an issue like this (without the blue screens) where my computer would get to the windows loading screen, then restart...over...and over...and over...and over... It was driving me crazy...and I finally realized it was from having my external harddrive connected...for some reason it was seeing it as a bootable device (sorta like if you have a floppy in during startup)...so now I have to unplug it when i turn the computer off and on...strange... probably not you issue...but thought i'd mention it since it 'might' be
