    not sure but big problem..
    « on: September 18, 2010, 11:27:39 AM »
    sorry about the subject name but i really dont know whats going on so dont even know what to call it.

    I am not sure about some of the things in my PC but i have an MSI motherboard, 2g of ram and an Asus gfx card.

    i can probably find numbers on them if you need them.

    Ok so here is the problem and sorry if it doesnt make any sense. The other day my computer had a blue screen memory dump thing. Started to restart but rather than having words on startup like when you first switch it on all i could see was a screen full of 0's.

    like this

    00000000000000000000000000000000000000
    00000000000000000000000000000000000000
    00000000000000000000000000000000000000
    00000000000000000000000000000000000000

    you get the idea. anyway, everything is still kinda running in the background and when it came up the screen that would say something like

    "windows was not shut down properly do you want to:

    start windows normaly or
    run windows fix tool thing"

    again all i can see is 0's but i can see the bars that would light up blue to show your selection.

    so i picked the repair tool and that didnt work saying files were corrupt. so i guessed i needed to format.

    trouble is i cant see any of the menu options to format the HDD. I can put the disk in and managed (trial and error and lots of button bashing) to install another version of windows on the PC. This seems to work ok but its not formatted and not much use to me since the bios screen still cant be read.

    any help on either telling me what the problem is or even how i can format the PC without going through 100 menus's i cant see would be awesome.

    sorry about the grammar and spelling but its the best i could do. :P

    thanks in advance and thanks for reading even if you cant help.

      Can you tell us where this version of windows was attained from and how it was installed.
