hey,

my pc is dead, plz help me.

i was playing NFSU2 , when i took a break but left the game running. when i came back, there was my favourite blue (blue only, not text) screen of dead. i restarted, after which i saw the screen from my motherboard, then came the list with installed drives and at the bottem it said:

error loading operating systems.

it was at the exact same spot as where it tells you to take out the floppy disk that you have when booting up.

i restarted a couple of times, made no difference. can somebody please help me.

thanks anyway.

my system:
amd athalon xp 2800+
ati radeon 9600 pro
iiyama LS704UT
asus A7V8X-X mobo
windows xp pro

Try booting up in Safe Mode. Tap the F8 key as your computer is starting up.

Choose Last known good configuration from the menu and see if it starts.

If not, do you have your Windows disk or a recovery disk?

i can't even get to that stage in start-up.
it stays stuck at the first screen after the screen my mobo displays.

i don't have a windows or recovery disk.

i don't have a windows or recovery disk.

if this is a custom built machine...then one would assume that it didn't come with windows preinstalled...SO how did you install windows without a disk/

[thefridge2]

from a guy i know, i installed it with a cd from him.
