Re: After 2 Clean re-installs vista still won boot to normal mode but will boot to sa
we found out the problem, the memory had some errors that came up in diagnostics, so I will bring the laptop in and have them replace it, its still under warrenty and I have extracted all the data, but just if your curious.
The screen immediately goes to the start to safe mode screen, where you can chose the 3 options for safe mode.
If I try t start in normal mode you get all the way to the log in screen. After logging in you pause at a black screen and have a cursor you can move but it stays stuck at that screen with no options to do anything.
Each time i do a clean I do a wipe and re-install, the computer works for about a week or 2 then runs into the same problems, and by fine i mean is a crappy dell laptop, the most basic model.
If you have any ideas, but we are pretty sure its the memory.
