Can't start up my PC anymore
So my computer froze earlier today.
Restarted it and then shit startened happening.
IT starts up, then you get the option to select how to run windows (In safe mode etc) but first thing I noticed was that my keyboard didn't light up anymore (My G15). So I used one of those crappy keyboards Drofder uses and no luck either.
Anyway, I let the time run out and it loads up, normal windows. Another thing shortly after that (Atleast iirc) is that there's a black screen with a few of these marks: _ It goes like this:

and then it properly starts loading windows. Somewhat at the end of the loading screen I get the blue screen of death. IT happens every single time.
Anyone knows what this is all about ?

Re: Can't start up my PC anymore
Have you tried using a P/S2 Keyboard?
Load with windows disc and repair (although, need input device)
Remove all USB and things that are not needed.

Re: Can't start up my PC anymore
Zaitsev I told you to stop downloading all that sexay pr0nz! 

that's a nice pic and all, but out of all the pictures you could have taken why'd you take a picture of a plant?
-Soviet
Because plants have some really small details. If a plant comes out nice in a photo, you have yourself a good camera
-Drofder 2004
Yes, but if boobs come out really well in a photo you have a picture of boobs
-Soviet
Discussing Marshall's new camera lol^

Re: Can't start up my PC anymore
Last summer I was working in a PC shop where they repair stuff and a customer had the exact same problem as you. All we did was removing the system harddrive for a few hours and re-inserted it and it worked. I'm not sure if it will work for you because it didn't really make sense that it would work after removing it but you could try
In worst case, you can put a Linux OS on a USB device and install it, then take everything from your harddrive that you need.

But yes, taking out hardware (or trying different hardware) will give good indications of what is or is not the problem.
Go freeze the hard-drive in an air-tight container... I hear that does wonders for faulty HDD's

Re: Can't start up my PC anymore
It's fixed. Was something with the motherboard. Got my father to help after puzzling around a bit myself.
Thanks for the help though, appreciated

Re: Can't start up my PC anymore
And the fix was?
Did you buy a new motherboard, was there something loose, broken component?

Good to see it wasn't a fatal problem. I've lost a 500 GB hard drive and 1 TB hard drive in the past year for no apparent reason

As with any operation, there's a slight chance of it going wrong lol, but not as high a chance as you seem to have built up in your mind...BlueDamselfly wrote:one day you said you might die, better not, or I wont talk to you anymore!
