XP blue screen. How do I fix it?
 |
My laptop has Windows XP on it, and when I turned it on last time I had the infamous BSoD. It said something like "critical system error" or something along those lines. I turned it off, then back on and hit F5 then F8. and tried startup in every mode offered with the same results ever time, which is that it gets to the XP welcome screen and just stays on that screen. The progress bar under the logo runs across like it would if it was working, but nothing ever happen. How can I fix this?

Hi dude
Look, what is the actions that was taken before this behaviour happened??
Do you still get the Bsod? if you do provide a jpeg as an attachment so I can have a better understanding of whats the reason behind the prob.

not sure what the last action taken was because it was my roommate who did it, but i am no longer getting the blue screen. it just hangs on the xp welcome screen forever
hi, re-install windows and choose "Repair" during installation so you can still have your data...your system might be corrupted..or try to plug-out your hdd and scan your hdd using another pc..maybe got some virus or malware programs that causes your problem...

Hi
That being the case I think its time to take out you're xp disks and do a recovery console.
-chkdsk might give you some grace.
-Alternatively you might be forced to reinstall xp on that hd(I'll recommend that you slave you're current drive first with another master to backup you're data)
-A windows repair might also count in you're favor as the previous guy has suggested, but bare in mind should it work you'll still be required to reinstall certain programs.
This result is often caused by OS files not allowing you're pc to properly startup.
Best regards

I had this problem with many computers and the only solutions is to do recovery from the windows cd or re install the windows from different windows xp copy.
Thanks
Thanks
