Ideas on an XP problem please
I am thinking to save some expense I have been asked to look at an old XP machine that is used by a fellow who runs this machine to use CAD software in his cabinet making workshop.
Now the problem is it boots through the Windows screen where the dotted line runs across and then baulks at the welcome screen.
The inside is fairly clean and the only obvious problem was some noise on the graphics card fan on start up it disappeared after a while and I am guessing it only needs cleaning and re lubing.
Now I have got to scratch around for hardware details as I cannot run any info programs on the machine and the owner has no idea what is actually inside.
I know this is a tall order but any help would be really appreciated.
