Solve : Vista startup problem? |
|
Answer» HELLO everybody, I badly need help on my computer. Every time I turn it on it tells me "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software CHANGE might be the cause". It gives the options to run safe mode, use older setting, and to run windows regularly, but then in a couple of seconds it just freezes and shuts off after. Any help is appreciated.What Operating System? Did you make any changes before this happened?Vista I don't know any change that I know of. I'll ask around to see if anyone messed with the computer.If you have the Windows CD, you might WANT to try a Repair Install.Ok, I now know how it GOT messed up. A stupid friend of mine tried to connect an internal hdd adapter kit, but said it made a weird noise when he used it to connect his laptop hd to the computer. I would try to repair it with the windows cd, but the other problem is that the computer freezes in a couple seconds when it starts up.I don't think it will freeze when you boot from the Windows CD. Try it and tell us what happens. The BIOS COULD be looking for this other HDD that was connected which could be causing windows errors |
