    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    Possibly caused by data corruption, so run a check on your RAM and run the drive manufacturer's drive-diagnostic diskette over the drive first of all to see if there are any errors.

    If all is clear, and you may have to re-seat the RAM modules and make sure that the IDE cables are well plugged in, run - chkdsk /r - after backing up any vital data.

    If you have run SFC /SCANBOOT you need to type SFC /REVERT in the Run window to stop it checking every time you re-boot, btw.

    I ran chkdsk and defragged.

    Screen appears everytime I boot regardless of shutdown.

    Take a look at this Registry key...

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager

    Then at - BootExecute REG_MULTI_SZ

    The value data should read...

    autocheck autochk *

    (These is a gap between the k and the *)
