neeed help!!

boot my computer do you mean shut down and turn back on again then listen for the beeps? i think i have done factory specs before and it didnt help with the problem but il do it again if need, maybe i done something wrong.

When you did it this, did you have to reinstall your programs?

If they are quarantined, that is fine for now.

i cant actually remember what happen because it was back in October but i think i just followed the instructions to set it up as i was ment to do, then i tried to run a cd game soon after but the computer just crashed the game after a few mins and shut it down, i think it went back to the desktop but i try to play the game or another game after and it crashed again.

Let see if we can find out from the beep at boot. Turn off, turn on and listen carefully for the beeps. I have to know long, short, number etc.

 

[danny10]

just did and it seemed like there was only one beep, it seemed normal?

it wasn't long, it went about the same speed it takes to say beep.

 

[richc46]

One beep is usually ok, but I have to look it up, for your specific case. Will be back.

Listen, I will not forget about you. If I have to go, I will post as soon as I can.

 

[danny10]

no problem mate thanks for all your help so far, i wont be back on for a few hours anyway, bed time lol

 

[richc46]

Listen, I am sorry. Stoney gave a list of potential areas of concern; one was motherboard. One beep means mother board, also. If you had this problem from the beginning, maybe you should have returned it.

Motherboard has to be checked out.

 

[danny10]

right ok i see. well could to tell me how to restore factory specs and il try that again one last time and if it doesn't help il get it checked out.

 

[richc46]

Glad to give you that infomation. If it is not listed here, it will be in your computer manual.

[danny10]

One last thing the MB problem is proballby the memory circut. Everything fits. Memory would cause the freezes and BSOD.

Nice meeting you.

Have you run the HDD diagnostics software yet, if not, give that a try.

 

[Katokato]

chkdsk

well i went back to factory specs and tried to play a game. worked brilliant for about 10mins then it crashed same as usual

if you mean run memory diagnostics tools, i done that twice and found no errors.

 

[richc46]

Going to factory specs will not help, it appears as a hardware problem. The mb, memory circuits seem like the most likely cause. You have to get that checked out.

 

[Katokato]

What does it say when crashes, or does the game just close?

No. Run the Hard drive diagnostic software.

I think it is a likely cause that your computer may be having hardware problems, since reinstalling vista didn't work for you. So we should concentrate troubleshooting hardware.

It looks like it might be mother board, memory circuits and Stoney is leaning toward hard drive.
