I thought i would bring this thread back to life, considering its mine and its about the same thing so here goes.
Ok, each time i turn my PC off, the next time it tries to start up it gets to the WINDOWS XP screen and dosent go past that. I have to manually turn it off, and then on again to be greeted by a "Safe Mode" option screen.
This is the only way i can get onto the PC again, unless i load into Ubuntu, which freezes most times i try using more than 3 programs at once. Anyways, i do a system restore, and i can get back on like i am now. But i can almost guarantee that next time it will do the same thing.
What i want to know is, should i just say to the parents, this is beyond me, the computer is 5 years old and is simply c*ap. Or is there a way to fix it.
As always, its me that has to do it, because i use it the most, but whenever someone else wants to get on then its "not just your computer".
Im hoping someones got an idea, because im baffled and to be honest am suprised only two of its expansion covers on the case have been kicked in.
