Help! Motherboard? Hard Drive?
Long story short - I got it to turn on. It loads okay with the battery and the power cord locked in. However, my computer never starts normally. Twice I got it to start normally (after system back up).
I gave up and left it alone. I turned it on a couple months later (today!) and found that I could only gain access in "safe mode". I took off my old files and did a complete system restore (destructive) with my system restore disks. However it didn't work. It said it was finished and tried to load again. After the "Microsoft" sign comes up, a blue screen flashes and then it says, "I'm sorry but Microsoft did not start correctly".
I am ready to order another hard drive off line. But then I thought that may not be the problem? Any suggestions? Please?
