Bought a pc from a local shop a year and a bit ago and have had it back and forth to the shop for the same problems - the bloke installed xp twice and then i paid £30 for a windows 7 upgrade and also upgraded my graphics card and changed to a modular psu. Same problems have been happening over and over...
After a new install the computer seems to work okay for a few weeks but then it starts to crash. lock up and forces me to switch it off by the button. On trying to start the computer back up - a range of things generally happen,
either it will pass the first screen then lock up trying to load windows, it will return an error saying something like error reading boot device or incorrect boot device, the biggest problem is when trying to enter repair your computer 9 times out of 10 it will get to the loading bar then seem asif it has finished loading the screen goes black asif the computer has went on standby and then forces me to shut the pc down again by the switch, When attempting to load up safemode it just crashes at classpnp.sys...I have literally just reinstalled windows a week ago and now the same problem has started up again.
I was under the impression that it may of been a problem with the hard drive but apprentley that is fine after running scans on it, I have tried unplugging hardware to see if that is the problem but still no further forward.
I have a 3000+ dual core amd, asrock motherboard and 320gb hard drive with a gtx 275 and 800w ocz modextreme psu
Any help appreciated.
