I have been having a few issues lately with my laptop just shutting down all of a sudden. I finally figured out that it was over heating due to blocked air vents on the bottom. Prob, fixed.
Well, apparently not.
I restarted and it is now just going around and around in the start up boot phase.
Starts to load, comes up with “cannot find auto check… will cancel disk check’,then goes to “Windows is starting up..”for about 10 seconds and then it goes right back and tries to restart again getting to “cannot find auto check…”, blink, “Windows is Starting up …”, blink, blink,..around and around.
What do I do now???
HELP!!!
I have tried booting up in all sorts of different modes including Safe mode but same thing with all of them.
My hubby says to just reformat everything, F-disk it, etc. which I absolutely do not want to do since I was in the middle of backing everything up and I can not afford to lose everything on my C drive…
I had to uninstall and re-install IE 7 for XP w/ SP2 when all this started happening and the computer kept shutting down in the middle of the download or in the middle of the installation.After uncovering the air vents I finally got IE 7 for XP w/SP2 dl’ed and installed. Could that have done something to the OS causing it to not boot up?
I just got a Fatal Error this last time w/code 17 and 22- means permissions/password/access lost to something.
Is anyone following me?… Please help as all my non-profit stuff for my new non-profit NW Womens 500 Org is on there…:( The kids need our help…go to nwwomen500.org and read all about it….
