Please can someone help. Em's pc is not working. It boots up then switches itself back off. She has tried system restore and it wouldnt do it.

Think she may be suicidal lol

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

hiya, ive got it working in safe mode but not normally.. erm... could it be a virus?

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

Now that you've managed to get it into 'safe mode', have you tried a restore point?
:)

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

yeah go back a few days

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

We all wish we could do that, in my case about 30 years worth!
:D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

Less, she's tried system restore (it would only let her do this in safe mode) but still no joy, it seems fine and then when she re-boots it its back to what it was before the restore

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

:DThought it had gone quiet:D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

lol, i said the same to her, had to ring her to make sure she was ok, was worried when i didnt see her online lol

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

done virus scan and will still only work in safe mode...

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

Oh dear. It doesn't sound at all well.:(

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

i think its dying :(

someones offered to come take a look but cant till friday.... is it ok for me to use it in safe mode?

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

To save a little time, what operating system are you on? if it's xp do you have the disk?

If yes to the above, then,
boot from the disk, (wait for ages, and ages and.....), then enter the recovery console by pressing "R" and type in "Fixboot" (without the quotes)
This may not work but its worth a try because system restore isn't doing anything.
:enough:

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

sorry Less, i dont have the disc.....and its xp.. someones said it might need wiping.

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

if you have a dial up connection to the internet then i would check your phone bill
if you have broadband however then it should be fine

crappy badass companies used to be able to reboot your system through a trojan or something over dial up connections

so beware x

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

That is the last thing to do, if nothing else fixes it, is it xp home or pro?
after all you can boot into safe mode, so it's got a good chance of being a recoverable windows fault, (miracles do happen), I can lend you either disk and a recovery tool called 'Mick', if you can pick them up.
:D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

i would apreciate that Less but might have to bribe emzy for the pickup :D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

I have heard that Mick is an easy pick up, only takes a couple of beers and he's anyones :D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

i had heard the same about you neil ;)

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

You heard wrong, I can be picked up without the beer :eek::D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

Let me know when or if and I'll get him booted up ready for the journey, (it may take some time he's old technology but he loves it when his services are called on at short notice).

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

It's OK we're on broadband and it's nothing to do with a trojan just a daft PC that has mad tendencies. If I do want to switch it off I can manage to catch it between the off and back on again and switch it off at the wall socket! :D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
 

Thats what I heard about you :eek::p:D

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken

´Willow,
Make sure Wake on LAN isn´t enabled. It could be your router effectively telling it to wake up.
