Solve : MY Laptop need emergency help?

Answer»

Every time i switch my laptop on it goes to a screen which gives me options these options are

Start windows normally
Start windows in safe mode
Safe mode with Internet
Start with the last good configuration.

I have tried all of these and they all lead me to the windows XP screen and just a few seconds LATER it goes on a blue screen that shows a message but you cannot read the message because the blue screen comes and goes really fast, and when it goes my laptop restarts.

please HELP. If im mistaken is it possible can this be the blue screen of death.......

You must of got a little view of it.....

Have you tried booting in safe mode....

Tony

did it look anything like this...

Thanks for your reply Tony

Well.. i have tried it on safe mode but still the same thing happens

and yes it does go to a blue screen.

But.. the blue screen it goes so fast i cannot see it what it says...

and my pc restarts every time the the blue screen comes up.Seems like a hardware problem, Ram or hdd. What laptop and specs please, is a floppy installed?

At present im going to be straight with you ..... i don't know what to suggest i don't know the error if i new that i MIGHT have something to go .... i would wait for the main man DUSTY to reply he knows a thing or to

Um.. anyone here?
Thats a good way people wont come and help you be patient ....

Tony Sorry.. ok ive got a theory ..Could be the CMOS (BIOS) battery is gone or a hard drive that's went to bit-bucket heaven. Leave it on for several minutes and see if any error messages are displayed.

Try this:

You can download a simple MS-DOS Boot disc http://www.bootdisk.com/

Turn Laptop off.
Insert Bootdisk
Turn PC back on and you should get MS-DOS message and A:\ Prompt.
I all is OK. Type SYS C and press enter.
remove diskette and turn off.
Turn Laptop back on and it should now boot to the C:\ Prompt.


Read the notes on the Bootdisk Project page on how to create a bootdisk.Okay.. ill do that.Ive just left the pc on for a few mins but it goes to the screen with all the options:
Start windows with safe mode etc.

But there like a 30 sec countdown that automatically 'Starts Windows' and it just keeps restartingOkay.. now im about to try your second idea


and thanx for everything even if it doesnt work Um. ive downloaded the Boot disc but it says

Please specify a floppy drive to copy the images to:

But my laptop doesnt have a floppy drive.Quote from: Richenstony on July 30, 2007, 03:49:41 AM

Am confused - see the laptop specs, a floppy drive is not installed...

MohanaK - do you have any diagnostic cd's? If not I suggest you download the Ultimate Boot CD from here. When your pc is booted from this disk you can run hardware tests such as Memtest86 (RAM test) and the appropriate diagnostics for your hdd, depends on manufacturer.
