My computer can't be turned on anymore!! i always get the blue screen after i turn it on and loads for a bit. it keeps saying a problem was detected and it prevented the computer from being harmed. i tried pressing f8 and entering safe mode, but that doesn't work either. anyone have any ideas on how to start my computer?

Try to start with last known good configuration.

When it starts to show the XP loading thing hit reset im serious... when it starts it will try to give you the options for safe and last known good configuration

if that fails, XP repair install FTW!

[tempins]

yea, last good known configuration has the same result. how do i install xp repair?

When he said XP repair install, it's an option from the Windows XP (assuming that's what you're using) disc when you boot it.

In other words: reinstall Windows.

ok, so I'm starting to install windows again but i'm having some trouble. After it asks if I want to partition restore on the symantec ghost screen and I say yes, it brings me to a screen with "A://" and asks me to type something. what commands do i type?

[awdark]

whaa? so you're using a ghost image to restore?

IF you do... you have to figure out how to get ghost running...
Usually ghost is on a bootable disk with a nice easy to use interface.

If you have hte XP disk, you can just do a repair install... google XP repair install.

When my computer's temps are high (heatsink comes lose, extra warm in the room, whatever), Windows will do that. If you overclock or your computer is really dusty, you might want to check the temperature readings in your BIOS -> PC Health settings.

I don't think there's any other situation when Windows will shut down your computer trying to save it (other than the computer not being stable or whatever, that is). :/
