Hi thanks for your reply. Basically the only thing I can possibly relate it too would be, it was shortly after we had a power cut in the area ( not that that has caused this type of thing in the past ). When i switched it back on it would load fine for a few hours then started to randomly switch itself off. This happened a few times over the next few weeks at different periods (nothing notable like pc was too hot or anything that I could find a pattern with). I didnt use it for a few weeks as I was away, when I came to try it again it is how it is now.
It starts up and on the screen it shows the black screen with the white writting showing info like, prosessor type and graphinc card etc... as you would normaly find. Then it takes you straight to the safe mode screen, saying
' windows did not start succesfully. A recent software or hardware change may have caused this'
you get 5 options as below:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with networking
Safe Mode with command prompt
Last known Good Configuration
Start Windows Normally
then there is a countdown of 30 seconds, then it try to start window normally and goes back to the black screen with the white writting on it at the begining. If you leave it it does this process over and over again.
Sorry for the lamants terminology and poor spelling but I hope you get the gist of what im saying.
Thanks Again
