Hi Graham
Thanks for replying.
I've just about exhausted every possibility and so am going to the repair shop
for either a new motherboard or a new hard drive.
Thanks again.
Gordon

Hi Gordon. You have answered your own question pretty well I would say. I
don't know for sure if you can repair windows without a complete reformat. A
problem with the fan or power supply could cause this kind of problem. I
recently bought a PC that had just this problem and had to be returned.
Cheers
Graham

Subject: [access-uk] Booting Difficulties
Hi
My machine at work begins to boot up, gets to a fe seconds of the Windows
setup screen then goes back to the menu highlighting 'start windows normally'.
I'e tried the Safe Mode and Last Known Good Configuration options but I always
get put back to the same menu after a few seconds.
Some of my options ay be:
1. A faulty power supply - I'm not sure the fan is turning - could this
give a partial bootup. It certainly gets through the initial screens OK.
2. Faulty Harddrive, perhaps not closed down right.
3. Windows Software problem caused by a corrupted file. I don't
particularly want to reformat without getting files off, so is there a way of
re-loading Windows without losing current setup, etc. I've tried repairing
Windows before on other machines and seem to go round in circles and eventually
have to re format.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
