If nothing starts up then its a simple power problem and you should be able to start your system after installing a new Power Unit. However if you are able to start the system then try to getinto the BIOS and use the CD drive as a boot option. Try reinstalling Windows and this should work. \nIf you have important data, try taking your Harddrive to your friends or your other PC and then install this drive as a secondary drive on your friends PC. This will then allow you to recover your data and then you can even check if your drive is corrupted or only the Windows install.

If you are running a windows 98 system, that can happen. It is a glitch and cannot be stopped.

If you keep F8 key pressed before Windows starts, you will get a menu option where prompt is one of the options. Select that and your computer will start in c: prompt mode.\n\nYou need to be careful that you press F8 before Windows starts otherwise the option won't work.

It happens, just go to 'my computer', then find the drive and double click, it will then start up. It can get annoying but windows is lame so what do you expect?

Hi, this error message can be related to a program set to be in start up of your windows. If you  know to which program that message is related, then you can click "RUN" in start menu and type "msconfig" then Enter. Select a tab "Startup", remove the mark from that program and then restart windows. Hope it will solve your problem. IF not sure, which program it's related to, then let me know I will try to further help.\nBest luck

Sometimes you can get your windows to restart by re-installing windows again. I've seen this kind of freeze up before and by re-installing windows I managed to get the computer to fully load so I could back up my information before formatting and re-installing windows from the beginning. You could try continuing after getting it to fully load but if there's a virus or something your AV can't find it will just happen again.

First off, open the program that's causing the problem and go to it's preferences and look for the option that says start with windows, or something similar.  This is the best way to do it.\n\nIf that doesnt work, goto the start menu, run, and type msconfig.  On the last tab is startup, uncheck the programs that are giving you the problems.

Try a weird startup key thing- hit F8 as the OS is loading- it will bring you to SafeMode- that shuts down a lot of functions that are not really vital, and you can usually boot up.  First things first, run virus- then run anti-spyware.  Then try start&#92; run type chkdsk it is a hard disk utility.and should help. If you can find nothing wrong, Windows sometimes can right itself once you get it to boot up.  Also look for error logs.  Unless you set it up ahead of time, you will not have internet in SafeMode, so take screenshots of any errors you do not understand (hit printscreen, then open paint and hit Ctrl + V to paste the image in paint.  save it to lookk up on the net later.  After that, restart normally.

it seems like some application is initializing while windows is shutting dows, try this, turn off the computer, check if u get the message, then go to control panel, administrator tools, event log and check which application is failing.\nthen go to start-run-msconfig and disable that application from the startup tab. if u dont find it then disable all the unknown applications and click ok nd reeboot. should work.

just reinstall windows, and if it happens again you have a bad hard drive or controller... \n\nif you try swapping out the controller with a known working control and it happens again, the problem isn't following the control. continue on by trying a different drive of the same type, problem still happens, you know it's not that specific drive.
