It's a friends pc. I replaced the power supply but that did not fix it. It's not a virus cause it did allow me to install linux. So the cd rom worked through the install. The computer has a lot of dust in it. I was going to blow it out tomorrow. Could it just be dust? Any other ideas.
am not a pro but i know this much atleast cus i have already faced similar problem, the os goes to the loading screen takes long than usual to load and then reboots without getting to the welcome screen right? cleaning surely helps
I just finished cleaning and it is still power on off. I pulled the ram and it beeps. I un hooked everything from the mother board, pulled it out and cleaned it. I am beginning to think the hard drive is bad.
if ur hd has smart technology, bios will notify u before loading screen about hard disk's bad status if its going to fail soon.. already happened to one of my hard disk's a 80 gb samsung sata about 20 days ago.. waiting for a replacement
