Laptop problem - Silent_Bob - 07-23-2011 Ok so my mom is having a problem with her laptop. Whenever she turns it on it goes to this screen. If she selects a choice it will go to a black screen for a few seconds then go back to that screen again. And it will reboot the computer after little while and do the same thing again. Does anyone have any idea how she can fix it? Re: Laptop problem - Nater - 07-23-2011 The pictures not displaying for me anyone else see it? Re: Laptop problem - Silent_Bob - 07-23-2011 well it's the recovery screen, the screen you get when your computer doesn't shut down right.

Which brand do you have? You have to recover it to factory settings. It could be your harddrive too. But that wouldn't give you the recovery screen. If you have an Acer laptop for example you have to hit f10/alt+f10 during the start up to recover it. Note that everything on the laptop will be gone. You will get it as fresh as you bought it. greets, jerico Re: Laptop problem - Silent_Bob - 07-26-2011 (07-26-2011, 08:23 AM)jerico link Wrote: Sounds like a bad windows install.

I asked my daddy smart man he is He said its either Harddrive like i said^ or as Mr.jerico said bad windows install, My dad suggests if you wanna try using the windows xp disk as a boot up and to a recovery/repair on it, May work may not. Hope it helps Silent_bob Re: Laptop problem - Silent_Bob - 07-26-2011 (07-26-2011, 08:33 AM)Nater link Wrote: Well I have an asus netbook and i can choose which mode to goto IE blackscreen safemode etc, i select one and it reboots a few secs later and i found out its my harddrive died in the ass. so she'd have to buy the XP disk?
