computer not booting

might need to do (at least) a repair install.... have you moved any hardware around recently?

no i have not removed any hardware lately

does not start in safe mode.. resets in safe mode also '


yes setup defaults in bios are loaded , still the same problem

i had the same prblem, its to do with your graphics card,

mine happend due to conflicting drivers, but a dammaged card could also be the problem,

if you have on board grapics plug that in and try it, then wipe the drivers and re install

I would rule out all hardware solutions before trying this.

If all else fails go in to recovery console type

chkdsk /r

This will run checkdisk and reboot. Then go back into recovery console and type

fixmbr

If it says you have a non-standard or bad master boot record then select yes and run it.

I have seen this a few times and this seemed to fix it for me. The chkdsk fixmbr fixes some, but not all. Warning make sure you have exhausted all other solutions before trying this. I've heard stories of people losing their data after running the fixmbr. I've never had that problem but it does supposedly happen

We do not know what the 'problem' is per say. And let’s be sure that we both are on the same page. Recovery, as in recovery console is a tool provided with windows 2k/xp that lets you do some minor file system repair and boot record repair (among many other things.)

chkdsk /r will repair any issues with your file system or incorrect files.

fixmbr will try to repair your master boot record incase something got f-ed up.

"Warning make sure you have exhausted all other solutions before trying this. I've heard stories of people losing their data after running the fixmbr. I've never had that problem but it does supposedly happen"
It happens. I was a witness to it once. Although it was a raid array.

As for it not deleting anything. No whatever check disk repairs was already a loss, so it didn’t destroy anything new. Fixmbr “shouldn’t” do anything harmful, but you may still not be able to boot.

Again as I stated in one of your other post about this same issue. If you need to recover data then slave your drive on a friends computer and copy the files you need over. She may not be able to boot but you can still get the stuff off her while you try to find the root fault.
