Yes. I've made the CD drive priority.Ray' wrote:I didn't understand most of it but yeah, have you gone into the bios and made sure that it'll boot of the disk instead of the hard drive?
Youd get a blank screen if it was a RAM fault, just tru another xp disk, could be a boot mgr fault on the diskLynx wrote:Probably a problem with you RAM. It happened to me a couple of months ago. If you have more than one RAM, try taking out one of them (and vice-versa) and try to start. If it works, the RAM you took out is the faulty one and is probably damaged.
If you have one RAM.... try to get another from a friend or some where and replace it. Most probably, the problem will be solved.
Nope, I had the exact same problem.VinnyRosoto wrote:Youd get a blank screen if it was a RAM fault, just tru another xp disk, could be a boot mgr fault on the diskLynx wrote:Probably a problem with you RAM.

It's still not resolved.Trapy wrote:Is the issue solved cause you didn't post something yet, i would like to help you if you didn't get any solution.
I have 100% solution that i hope it'll help you.
Yes but it can't go into system recovery anyway, for some reason when mashing the correct button nothing happens.Trapy wrote:Well i would like to ask;
When using recovery discs, the drive cannot read the disc (no errors open). For example, the computer is turned on with the first recovery disc inserted into the drive. The drive activity light flashes quickly while the screen remains black with a flashing cursor. Eventually the drive activity light stops flashing after the drive stops reading the disc.
Is this happening to you ?
Nah, got a free new repair / motherboard and ram since the pc wasnt 2 years old yet.Shadow wrote:Lol wtf, I bet they charged you right?

You've got corrupted files in your system folder.
