    Startup problem!

    Locked

    by sanitychickrl · about 19 years ago

    Im currently using AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.3ghz with Windows 2000. Lately its been having start up problems, everytime I turn the computer on it doesn’t startup at all it stops at “verifying pool data” or sometimes when it gets to “windows 2000” itjust freezes there and doesn’t log onto the desktop
    I have to restart the computer like 50 times for it to load…. what could be the problem? and how can i fix this??? Please help!!

      You should try the repair utility on the W2K installation CD. This will reainstall any OS files that have become corrupted, without causing any data loss. This doesn’t always work to solve a problem, but it’s definitely a good place to start.

      I’ve already seen that once.

      In fact, mother board was damaged.

      “updating DMI pool data” is the last sign of life of the motherboard. Check your warranty
