Author Topic: Random computer error D:  (Read 2197 times)

My computer is forgetED. And I'm pissed. I'm posting on my brother's laptop (Ghey), and my computer has an error:


It starts up, and it begins runing.. and this message pops up, saying it had a "Boot error" and whatever, and then asks me to run with:

Safe mode

Start computer with default settings

start computer normally

The problem is, when enter any of these, my computer begins to load and then restarts. When it restarts, it goes back to the same thing.

So basically, I can reboot and lose all my stuff, try to fix it, and/or for christmas get a Commodore G gaming computer.

It can't. It doesn't even load up windows.

I was kidding. That happened to my old computer and we had to reboot it. I got a new one and my sister got my rebooted broken one.

Reboot is a restart.

Anyways, try erasing all data and reinstalling your OS. Or even just try reinstalling your OS. You still have the disks, right?

Or you could try just repairing windows first.

Assuming you have the OS install disk or recovery disk, you should be able to initiate the Windows repair utility.

You probably need to re-write the boot files which you can do if you have the recovery disk.

YOU'RE A REBOOT. D:<

I always thought restart was a restart and reboot was using a reboot disk to erase the things on yer computer and reinstall the operating system. -.o

EDIT: Either way that's what I did.

What I did when my computer was doing that, I asked my dad what to do here by the way, he told me to unplug it, and hold the power button for fifteen seconds. What it does, it dumps all recent memory, and with it, corrupt files that was causing your computer to spontaniously restart. If this does not work, I don't know what to do.

I'll eat a tasty cheeseburger if he doesn't have either of those.

Too bad really, because I wanted an excuse to eat a cheeseburger. :(

I got this once. After fixing this which you can do with chkdsk or some command like that, you need to:

1) Right click My Computer

2) Go to properties > Advance > Performance [settings] > Virtual memory [change]

3) Change the radial button to "no paging file"

4) Click ok out of it

5) Restart the computer.

The reason this happened to me is because the paging file system is invented for SHORT term use. This is used in case the computer's ram is bad and needs more / replacing. The paging file system uses the hard disk as a sort of ram by taking a small bit and constantly rewriting it (more then usual) and using it as ram as I have said above. Using this for a long time can have harmful effects to the computer such as scratching the disk, fragmenting critical system items and other things.

Ignore that post, I thought the laptop was the one failing.
