Hello
You may need to boot up from a disk it probaly will be something eather in the bios or windows itself, or, your laptop might have a virus that isn't letting you log on. But no you should be able to fix it yourself it will be something small probaly like a deleted file, you won't have to go to a shop and pay money to get it fixed.

I am having a similar problem.
When I boot, it gets to the Windows screen and the little bar goes back and forth and never stop. But I never get to a sign-in screen. I try booting in safe mode (with or without networking -- same problem). I tried booting with a Norton Ghost boot disk and it booted from the disk, loaded the drivers, and then went to a blank screen and froze - nothing. I'm completely confused. The weird thing was that this happened last night, I turned things off, went away for a while, and then was actualy able to get in. I started to back up my latest files and it booted in the middle and now I'm back where I started - unable to get in. I don't think it's a cooling problem. Could it be a problem with the bios? I haven't changed anything... Help!

Hello,
You should try updating the bios. Go to the bios menu - pc configuration - check the bios verison. Then go to the web page of the brand and verify the bios versions. If it is a newer version try downloading the latest version for your bios option. Good luck! |
my thing is this....if u cant start up pc, then why are u trying to get updates ect ect, when u cant install them anyways....
Im having the same issue, and its ticking me off, I can get into bios but nothing more,...no safe mode...no last safe boot, nada....and it sucks....anyone know what is causing it...what i can do to fix?? email me please....

When I boot in safe mode, a bunch or driver names come up on my screen, and then it freezes at a point.
It wont boot from the XP disk... it loads the drivers and everything..and then it stops It's weird. Somehow, I fixed it for 2 weeks, and now..it is back to the same point.

I have a similar if not the same issue as Mich.
Over time my windows seems to be freezing on the loading screen more and more, and now I can't get on at all. It's even taken me several tries jsut get get onto safe mode. I don't have any software on my PC I wouldn't usually have. I've not tried booting from a CD yet. I'll try it when me PC's done doing it's thing. But this is really irritating. I heard from someone that there's a component in PSU's that when faulty somehow doesn't provide windows with enough power to startup, hence it just freezes instead. I'm going to put my HDD into the computer downstairs when i get the chance. It's exactly the same as this one (except i have a TV card and wireless, the other doesn't) so It should work. This should determine if it's my tower at fault or my computer. I want to avoid wiping my PC as long as possible. I've already wiped it less than 2 months ago :/ |
Hello,
check the jumper on the back of the cd/rom or hard drive before you discard it . It should be set to Master before you discrd it. The jumper is a tiny clip that connects pins together. It is easy to pull this off and move it over to MA- master. Cable select can go out and seen like the cd/rom or even hard drive has died, when it actually has another rout of transportation for data. Cable select can burn out kind of like a fuse burning out. Master is another way for data to travel. just open the computer and look. This will cause alot of Hard drive errors such as can't boot into the Operating system or can't get my cd to play. It can even be intermitten errors not just total failure. Every one also needs to remember to Defrag and SCANDISK-Error checking for the hard drive. this will prolong the life. I would pull out the hard drive and slave it into another computer and run a scan disc on it. |
The jumper? No offence, but what decade are you living in? Modern hard drives are designed to not need jumpers. |
What Hard drives today have jumpers too |

I thank the people in here for the messages about how to download the files. DA PEOPLE HAD THE HELL CAN YOU DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH OUT THE COMPUTER WORKING. so i think the only way to fix this problem is to buy a new hard drive and set it up. there are somethings i can help peopel out with, the boot CD. i have tryed many things on it but did not work.
But the problem i have now is my computer gets stuck on windows start up and if not that it will show blue screen. Yes i did look up the info for it but it does not work. If anyone knows of a WORKING BOOT CD let me know. if you know how to fix it. IF YOU KNOW tell me not if you guess i am sick of my computer crashing over and over 5 times i had to get it fixed no it is not a vires thing i know it's not it is a software problem and i does the reset to keep from any more dammege. What type of computer does eveyone have because if it is the same people then i guess i need a new computer. even though my dad's works fine. Email me if any info or need of help.

I recently ran into this problem of freezing on the windows loading screen on a dell notebook. It turns out in my case it was a bad cdrom drive causing it to freeze. It would boot in safe mode and read discs, but when booting with a known working drive or without a drive at all windows would load in normal mode just fine. If you have an extra cd/dvd drive to test try it and see if you can boot up. If so you may just need a new cd drive. Hope this helps. |
i have one windows xp which is freezing up on booting. The other one , subsequently installed in the same drive C
is opening up fine. No problem. But the first one, where i have all my programs and drivers is not opening. can any one suggest possible reasons. and remedy., without the need to format the drive C |
I had the same probem, and the problem was coming from my wireless network card. When I took it out, my windows booted fine.

Hello i fix the error by pulling out the mmc card reader and i pull all cd/dvd roms so you just have the motherboard and the hard disc connect on the pc. So i at a time i power off and put one in at a time, wen i put in the mmc card reader it would not boot up the problem with my pc was the mmc card reader. hope this helps you |
Instead of looking at the software, you may need to open the devices up and look at the capacitors and/or transistors; to see if they are buldging or leaking. Give the motherboard a good look for anything that doesn't look right. |
My room mate works on computers for casinos in vegas and he told me that when i updated to windows service pack 3 that i might have problems logging on to my computer. My computer just restarts itself after the Windows bar scrolls for awhile, no safe mode or last good config. start ups either. All failed, he said that he would have to install an additional component if this happened. I moved and live in colorado now and I have no idea how to get into my computer and do that. If anyone else has heard anything about this window XP bug or any other solutions please help. Paul
