XP will not run, does not wake
in [Windows XP]
|
From: David Kelsey on 26 May 2010 14:58 I have XP Home, AMD 1.1 processor, 1.5 MB Ram, 80 GB hard drive. System went to sleep suddenly, and now will not wake. I can run in Safe Mode, but 'Normal' results in scrambled screen and revert to safe mode. I have restored several times to different dates. Hard drive reports normal, and no errors shown in Device Manager. Startup goes through normal Windows splash screen, but breaks up at the point when Windows would normally run. Screen then goes to sleep, and cannot be woken. This is one of two computers on a network - the other is Win XP Pro, and is running normally. I am going to try to remove the last Microsoft update and possibly the latest Superantispyware update, although the troubles began before this installed fully. Any ideas please? David Kelsey

Sounds like your video card (or possibly the monitor) might have failed, and the screen goes blank when Windows switches to the normal display mode after the boot completes. The boot sequence and safe mode operate at a lower resolution, and I think even use a built-in generic VGA-mode video driver; if I'm wrong about this, I'm sure someone will be along in a few minutes to correct me :-) -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN bert(a)iphouse.com
From: thecreator on 26 May 2010 17:04 Hi David, From your description of your computer, it is kind of old. I would say that your Ram Sticks are overheating and it is freezing when it is in Sleep Mode and that's why you can't wake it up. I would also replace the Computer BIOS Battery at the same time. Replace the hottest Stick of Memory, after you open up the computer. How many Memory Sticks are installed? -- thecreator "David Kelsey" <david_kelseyNO(a)SPAMhotmail.com> wrote in message news:E6A9C363-F863-4DFC-86DE-094FC56C8F72(a)microsoft.com... >I have XP Home, AMD 1.1 processor, 1.5 MB Ram, 80 GB hard drive. > System went to sleep suddenly, and now will not wake.

Well, feel free to actually advise what you see as the correct one then, rather than just making this non-contribution. You know - being constructive?
