Comp Emergency

[Mr. Lennon]

I put my computer in hibernate every night so I dont have to listen to it while sleeping. When I wanted it to resume this morning, it froze on the log in screen. I rebooted and got the same thing. Then the sata controller stopped recognizing my hd so I went through bios and got it to recognize again. Still get the same freeze up on the log in screen. Its getting very close till the time my class starts and I have ran out of ideas. This thread should of gone in general hardware forum, but I know I will get a faster answer here. I am using a asus k8v for mobo.

wrong forum dumba$$, there is a hardware forum, you will get the same response time, people in here dont know computers for the most part, and are'nt very helpful. And those that are, do it for a living, and prolly dont want to help to be nice

When I have problems like that I get mad and break things and then just buy new stuff that works right.

"Sounds like a hardware issue, I only deal with network issues.. call the helpdesk."


That's what I tell people all the time here.....

"Oh, you are the helpdesk? call second level desktop support then."

Take your hdd out and put it into another computer and get the paper printed off. That's probably the easiest way to get the paper asap.

 

[Hankerton]

I'll help you. Damn you guys are mean. PM me for an answer as long as you have another computer to work from.

 

[Juice Box]

I'm sorry, I've just got burned for it many times in the past...

 

[MisfitsFiend]

Damn you guys are mean

yeah...give this guy a break...a busted computer with a paper due is pretty bad...

Yeah, easy fix. Pull out the hard drive, put it into another system, and just get the document that way.

me too

 

[Mr. Lennon]

Sounds like a good idea. Only problem is that it is SATA and my other desktop doesn't support it.

 

[onza]

bring the hdd to your pc and tell him/her the excuse

 

[cerebusPu]

try booting in safe mode. pop in a floppy and transfer to it.

 

[lancestorm]

if running out of time, seriously bring the hard drive to class! tell the prof it is right here on this disk, i don't have a system to load it on, let me load it up on yours in your office right after class.

always make frequent backups of important things

good luck

 

[oogabooga]

backups onto what? i don't expect my computer to fail in the morning when it was working the night before.. although i do use windows xp and perhaps should

The safe mode thing is the best bet i think, otherwise, SATA compatible computer... good luck, i'm working to shell out a paper right now too
