HELP!!! Computer won't load

gonggirl · #1 6th Dec 2007, 02:57 AM

Hi, I'm not too computer literate but I do know a little, my computer was on today, it had been on probably 2 hours, and I checked it about 5 minutes before this happened and all was well. When I looked at it the computer was at the Intel Inside Pentium 4 screen a little box saying this and it seemed to be frozen, I suspected to be at this screen it must have rebooted by itself??? It wouldn't go any further, I turned it off and restarted it but again got to this screen and stopped, doesn't get to the windows screen at all. The computer has power the little blue light comes on all the fans are working but there is no beep. About 4 months ago I replaced the PSU and the hard drive about 8 months ago, when i replaced the power supply I also reseated the CPU and all has been working very well for the past 4 months till now. Just wondering if someone can help with this and where do I start!!!!!
I do have a spare computer, can I use this computer to test things, but I don't want to bugger this one up tooo, any help is appreciated, thank you

sounds like an overheating problem, make sure the heatsink is in perfect contact with the cpu. some thermal paste may be required.

Thx I actually thought I had solved the problem, I reset the CMOs and the computer has been working ok for about a month then today the same problem has reoccurred again, i have checked my hard drive it seems ok, maybe I should try and reseat the CPU again. Thx any other suggestions would be appreciated I cannot get into BIOS at all or run the operating disc.

Did you replace the bios battery ?

No I didn't but I have got it out and going to get a replacement today hopefully, if any computer shops are open, can you only get the battery from computer shops?

If you note the no. on the battery (often CR 2032) you should be able to get it in any biggish store, often in the Camera section, if no PC section.
Not sure about Canada, but in the UK, they sell them on the stand at most big Supermarkets.
