    Laptop wont boot into Windows XP.

    Yeah same thing for both drives. I let it sit there on the windows setup for 20 minutes and it didn't do a thing. I ran the hp drive test, and I downloaded some ultimate boot disk thing that had various testing programs and all of them that I ran came out fine. This is one crazy problem!

    Laptop wont boot into Windows XP.

    Yeah I cleaned out the heatsink pretty good. There was quite a bit of stuff in there. I ran memtest and it passed, I also ran some hard drive tests and they were all fine. It kinda seems like the computer cant communicate with the hard drive but then I wonder how it is able to run tests on it. I...

    Laptop wont boot into Windows XP.

    I cleaned out the dust from the heatsink, but could the cpu really overheat in 15 seconds? Something is just not letting the computer start windows. So do you think the problem is the processor? This laptop uses regular amd processors so I could get one pretty cheap.

    Laptop wont boot into Windows XP.

    The fans don't always run on maximum. Could it be dead cpu? It seems weird that i would partially work and then just stop. It seems like it can do easy stuff but then when it needs to work it just stops.

    I havent changed anything lately. I tried moving the ram around and it does the same thing. I am thinking its the motherboard cause i can even get the bios screen to show up.

    Memory Problems?

    When I turn on my computer and the bios checks the memory it goes in a loop. (ex. it goes from 0-25 and back to 0 and goes on forever until I press escape to make it skip the test.) Does that mean that it is a problem in my memory or is a piece of my motherboard dieing? My computer has also...

    My computer freezes or turns off.

    I think it was a bad stick of ram becase it seems to be working without one of the 3 sticks. Although when I boot the computer and it does the memory test the numbers go from 0 to 512 (which is how much memory i have) and then it goes back to 0 and loops forever unless i have it skip the test...
