Hi,
I am trying to get a pc working at the moment. It is a Packard Bell and should run XP but I cannot get it started.
I wanted to rebuild the PC using the recovery disks but I am not getting that far.
What is happening is if I boot the PC up and go into the BIOS the PC stays up but if I then reboot and try to boot to the recovery CD it shuts down.
I have tried different power supplies, hard drives and CDRom drives but exactly the same thing happens. I have tried reseating most of the hardware connected to the motherboard but again this has not helped.
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can get this sorted?
Thanks,
alamb200
