Same Hardware - Different Case

chaznannie · #1 03-09-2005, 03:58 PM

Just upgrade the case of my sons HP7760 running XP professional. Used all the same hardware, with the exception of a new power supply. Booted up system, all the right lights are going, right noises from the drives etc, XP boots up and shows me Account screen. Pick an account and get the 'Welcome xxxxx loading settings' - and that is where it stays and goes no further. HDD obviously works.
Any ideas would be most useful

Regards

Can you boot into safe mode?

Restart the computer and while booting up press and hold the F8 key on the keyboard. If you can't even get into safemode run a check/scan disk. Grab a 98 boot disk from here and run a check disk. If you can boot into it it is proberly a bad/corrupt driver or module loaded. Try to uninstall some drivers, programs.
More over check the processor and make sure it did not hit the thermal peak. If it does it can't function under load stress and will cause the computer to frezzzzz real bad ;(. Other than that check the RAM and lastly power supply. I am sure that it is the OS(software issue though their is all ways a chance it is hardware)
