Laptop startup problem – Windows XP.

[slipd]

Hey guys,

One of my laptops is failing to start

When I switch it on, it gets as far as the Windows loading screen and then I get a very brief bsod before the machine restarts… Then I get the usual choice of start options – none of which work? Safe Mode gets so far, kicks out a bsod and reboots?

I reckon it could be memory failure?

Anyone got any other thing I could try out before I head into town tomorrow

Cheers,

SW.

could try recovery console, boot with an xp cd (if your using xp) and press R when you see the option. You will be prompted for your admin password which should be blank (just hit enter) unless you have set it otherwise. Do a chkdsk /r once your in.

Thanks mate -worked great thanks

Cheers,

SW.
