my computer has some serious problems. at this point im thinking i should
take my gateway to the nearest service center (in New jersey!) but i know ed
j. neth and others here know a lot, so hopefully one of you can help me
again.
anyways, i left my computer on one day, and when i came home, my computer
was perpetually rebooting. it would start up and ask if i wanted to boot in
safe mode, or normally, etc.
whatever i chose it would just reboot as soon as i chose it.
i ran gwscan on my hardrive, it said it was ok, and i ended up fdisking my
drive and reformating and reinstalling XP. now i can get into safe mode, but
whenever i start normally as soon as it passes the XP flash screen, the
screen turns blank (theres is no video signal coming through at all, no
matter what cable/monitor is used.)
any ideas what could be wrong? i have a feeling it might be a hardware
problem but i dont know what? harddisk, powersupply? any solution other then
just sending it to gateway? |

Is it connected to the Internet, and if it is, is it up to date on patches
and antivirus software?
