I cant start up my computer?

Question

I cant start up my computer?

Answer 1

You messed up your windows. You need to do a fresh reformat of windows

Answer 2

Most likely, the symptoms are caused by faulty memory. Taking out the sticks of RAM separately and trying again may provide a solution. Isolate the problem to the suspected stick of RAM.



If this does not work try to set Windows to boot into Last Known Good Configuration under Advanced Options.



A combination of these may or may not work. Otherwise, try this MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms793437.aspx

Answer 3

Defiantly sounds like you need to do a format and reinstall windows fresh. May seem drastic or too much hassel, but sounds like this is the only way your going to get anywhere.

Answer 4

Dude i had d same problem! U have to format! I suggest u slave your hard drive with another one that has an operating system and back up your stuff, den format ur hard drive and put bk ur info.

Answer 5

I'm not sure, but you can try turning off the computer and disconnect everything from the back (except the power cord). Turn the computer on for a minite or two then turn it back off. Re connect everything and turn it back on and hope for the best. Good Luck. If this doesn't work you could try the restore disc again, but this time let it finish.

Answer 6

Try to boot in Safe mode:



F8 - By pressing the F8 key right when Windows starts, usually right after you hear your computer beep when you reboot it, you will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode. If it does not work on the first try, reboot and try again as you have to be quick when you press it. I have found that during boot up right after the computer shows you all the equipment , memory, etc installed on your computer, if you start lightly tapping the F8 key you will usually be able to get to the desired menu.



Otherwise, I think you really screwed up your computer. You will probably have to reinstall XP. Just pop in your installation CD. There should be a "repair" option that won't delete all your except for Windows system files.

Answer 7

Error Message:



PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA



Explanation:



This Stop message occurs when requested data is not found in memory. The system generates a fault, which normally indicates that the system looks for data in the paging file. In this circumstance, however, the missing data is identified as being located within an area of memory that cannot be paged out to disk. The system faults, but cannot find, the data and is unable to recover. Faulty hardware, a buggy system service, antivirus software, and a corrupted NTFS volume can all generate this type of error.



User Action:



This Stop message usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware or in the event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to defective RAM, either main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM). If hardware has been added to the system recently, remove it to see if the error recurs. If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the faulty component. Run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer. For details on these procedures, see the owners manual for your computer. Another cause of this Stop message is the installation of a buggy system service. Disable the service and determine if this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer of the system service about a possible update. If the error occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and press F8 at the character-mode menu that displays the operating system choices. At the resulting Windows 2000 Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time. Antivirus software can also trigger this Stop message. Disable the program and determine if this resolves the error. If it does, contact the manufacturer of the program about a possible update. A corrupted NTFS volume can also generate this Stop message. Run Chkdsk /f /r to detect and repair disk errors. Restart the system before the disk scan begins on a system partition. If the hard disk is SCSI, check for problems between the SCSI controller and the disk. Finally, check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver causing the error. Disabling memory caching of the BIOS might also resolve it. For more troubleshooting information about this Stop message, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com/support.

Answer 8

try tapping f8 during boot up and choose last known good configuration. if that doesnt work try safe mode. if that doesnt work reformat (recovery) is needed.

Answer 9

Than how are you on right now? haha :)

Sorry just a joke!

Answer 10

Your computer needs back up discs. If your computer came with the back up discs then use them now. If your computer and company wanted you to make your own and you did not you will have to order them from that company.$$$- You can also get it fixed by ppl at best buy or circuit city but best buy is like $250 for the actual discs and everything. P.S. Your personal files will be deleted if you back up (music & documents.)

Answer 11

You probably have a virus. what you need to do is call your computer security thing or if you don't have one get one and have them help you, it happened to me once. hope your computer works again :|
