hi guys..i have this problem just 1month after i sent my comp for repairs..totally no idea why.
my comp is a compaq presario SR1960AP(used for 3 yrs+)
ram is at 1.5gb
intel chipset is from biostar P4M900-M7 FE
graphic card is nvida geforce 8400GS
hard disk is from Hitachi. Model: HDT722516DLA380 160gb.
ok..thats all i know about my spoilt comp as of right now.
now the problem..after the comp is fixed(reason for last spoilt is cause of intel chipset burning) there were loud fan noises in my pc..didn take caution of it cause the repairman which is my uncle didn say that was a problem. a while later i found out that the system is wierd..sometimes c drive cannot be opened with double click..no matter how many times i click it, it won't work.
however, sometimes it worked..no idea how but it just worked.
now recently..the computer showed blue screens..i was playing rappelzsea at minimum graphic level and this happened at least 2 times a day. a few days later this 1min emergency shutdown box appeared when the comp starts up..no problems opened yet and after that 1min..comp doesnt shut down..only enters a blank page with that box and my wallpaper. no icons whatsoever.
and now, the comp goes into the black screen when trying to start up..as in the page that ask you to choose safe mode opening or previous best config that worked and stuff. no matter what i choose..comp goes back to restart itself at the windows xp logo loading page.
i seriously have no idea whats wrong..T.T
btw..i checked my nvidia graphic card and found that the fan on it and the metal around it has turned black..my mom says it is burned..but not sure whether its true or not.
well thats all the info i have..if you guys need more info then i will help out
I think u just have to send it for repair again. Tell them the problems u just told us here.
From my experience, this kinda of problem usually resurfaces easily.
Best is to buy a new one.
So by right, 8400gs is good enough for the game
Try to update the driver for the graphics
Usually unable to get into windows should be the software issue, cos most of the time working @ simlim, it should be xp curruption
Random blue screen might be due to overheating issues.(BEcause the mobo sense the high temp, and the cpu fan speeds up)
