i've had this problem before, and all the other times, i would just let my computer sit there for a week or so, and it'll magically start up normal again O.o but this time, it's been well over a week, and i'm worried


problem starting up # 1:

i turn on the computer, it shows it's usual black screen with loading the drivers blah blah....then i get this black screen telling me how the computer encourted some problems while shutting down, so they're giving me options: safe mode, start computer as usual...etc. no matter which option i choose, it stays the same and nothing happens :S


problem starting up # 2:
i turn on the computer, it shows the black screen with loading drivers....then i get this other black screen that tells me insert boot disk. what is the boot disk?

problem starting up #3:
i turn on the computer, and once again, the usual black screen...but this time, it stays in the loading 3rd master or whatever..and it doesn't move from the screen :S

these problems are random...i got #1 last week, and a couple of days later..i got problem #2, and i'm currently experiencing #3 :S

You could try reseting your BIOS. Normally take out the little battery (flat and circular). Move the jumpers. Wait for 30 seconds. Then put the jumpers back and the battery back.

When you say loading drivers, do you mean Windows drivers (ie like Safe Mode) or do you mean BIOS stuff? If it's Windows drivers, perhaps one of the files became corrupt, you'll have to restore it. You should only be seeing those drivers on Safe Mode though, I don't think they'll say anything on a normal bootup. On Safe Mode, you can tell it to skip a driver if it gets stuck on it, I believe it'll ask you about it if it takes too long (I think it's press ESC).

As usual, check for loose cables and dusts inside your PC.

Problem #2 makes it seems like your HD is failing or became corrupt though which might explain why it will work once in a while. See if you hear any abnormal clicks or sounds.

Go into the BIOS and see if it detects your Hard Drive. I had problem #2 before, my HDD was corrupted and I had to reinstall.
