Last known best settings for windows

I select "start windows normally" . this goes to the next process. THIS IS WHEN THE ERROR OCCURS...
IT WENT TO THE LOADING SCREEN (windows xp), JUST A FLASH, A FLASH, like 0.5seconds. IT WHEN TO A BLUE SCREEN( like error screen ) FOR A FALSH AGAIN. THEN IT RESTARTED. AND IT GOES BACK TO MODE PROMPT.
EVEN WHEN I SELECT SAFE MODE, SAME THING HAPPENS.

Have you choosen the "Last known best settings for windows" option yet?
Perhaps this has something to do with the game update, maybe you will like to visit the game's forum and seek technical help there - You might not be the only one with this problem.
Its corrupted. not about the update. It showed up the BSOD. not any game update would cause that. should be a virus or something.
and btw, its steam update. god i was trying to play HL2 and it says Pre-load complete on status. so i installed the update.
You need to put the cd in, choose repair windows, after that it should work
bluescreen error message
can boot in safe mode?
haha...my Compaq still having similar problems to this too...fixing it at the end of the year, when i giv it a Vista (wondering if it can run Windows 7 though...if not, Vista.)
Erm MotherBoard Bloated?
last time i also kena this
@ starExcaliblur
No there was no error msg. a flash of screens.
Dont know what is the problem but i got it to the hospital 2 days ago and is fixing it now. Before my PC is in this situation, When i ON my pc, sometimes i need to restart again to fully boot the computer.
So they change the power supply and a new set of motherboard. good thing for me. Its still under warranty but the repairs need to pay.
Note that its custom build, no branding PC. The warranty is just for the hardwares, not the windows xp.
