Computer help?!?! - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok so my computer has been messing up lately and I have no idea whats wrong with it. I want to try and figure out what it is before I give up and just buy a brand new computer. Anyone know what the problem could be when this screen comes up? It doesnt do anything after that. I would have to manually reboot and the screen would come back up.

Im thinkin it could be my hard drive but for some reason I doubt it. It could also be the motherboard but im not for sure. Anyone know? Thanks in advanced.

My inlaws computer is doing something similar. I think something is corrupt on the harddrive, file or surface damage. I was going to swap the drive into a case and install a new drive and do a system restore. Then see what I can get off of the old drive. This is why I'm not a techie, LOL...

Your hard drive is gone. See where it says Primary master: None? I hope you had everything backed up

Just reset your cmos man (the lil jumper next to your battery)

usualy does the trick

It is possible your HD died, but normally it'll say it can't read it, or read disk error, ect..

Also, you can go into your bios and see if it detects your HD

Looking at the pic more.. Why do you not have a primary drive? Are you supposed to have 2 hard drives or just one?

Did you get hard drive errors on previous start ups? Usually they show them first

TinCan · 03-02-2007, 12:08 AM

Nope im getting no hard drive errors. Ive had a hard drive fail on me before and it gave me errors. And in bios it looks like its reading everything including the hard drive.

So you are only supposed to have 1 HD and 1 DVD drive then? If so, reboot your bios with the jumper. Also you may try check to be sure your cables are secure, you may also need new cables. It could also be memory, so many things.. Id try reboot first..

Yea 1 hd and 1 cd/dvd drive. I know its in the secondary master but it has worked fine for a while up until a couple months ago.

Could be a power supply

your hd does not detect, if you unplug your hd you'll get the exact same screen
