try to restore to an earlier date and see if that fixes it.

I can't even boot into windows, it's just hanging at the windows logo or is there another way?.

I think (not sure so someone will have to clarify) if you put the installation disc in and boot from that, you'll find some repair tools and pretty sure one of them was system restore.

yeh, when you get to the install screen then in the bottom left is a repair tools part, lots of stuff in there, best one being system restore.

Unplug any external devices except mouse monitor and keyboard, reconnect when in windows.

Possibly disable APIC in bios

Ok that is strange, just my Pc back on from being switched off for the last 20mins and booted up ok but once I logged in everything become very laggy and not responding then my screen just turned black.

Going to try the bois setting what some of u guys have sed if that dont work I will put in my windows disk and try repair/restore.

Cheers

When I did boot up it did a disk check and said everything was fine.

paradisiac · 9 Mar 2011 at 14:31

check disk is not the most reliable tool.

Lol ok then. The bois way did not work so I'm now trying with my windows disk.

Sgt Tackleberry · 9 Mar 2011 at 15:08

Rite, I try booting from the win 7 disk, did a system repair/restore. Then it booted up all fine

, I then run seatools and run a SMART check of both or my hdd and it passed. I've still left my bios setting at default setting CPU atm is running at stock. So I ran prime95 and after 10 sec of that running my computer just locked up so I had to do a force restart.

I the. Switched It back on and it booted up all fine, I didnt run prime 95 again cuz I have run out of time as I have got to go to work now.

So what could this be what is causing this?.

Thanks

possibly ram, cpu or psu issue.
try reseating the ram and repasting the cpu.
what were the temps like in prime when it crashed?

RENEG4D3 · 9 Mar 2011 at 15:39

try prime95 again and see if it locks up, sometimes it can be a 1 off
