HELP!!!! WINDOW WON'T START

[UtadaHikaru]

I completely replace my hardwares (except for the harddrive). But right before the window logo was suppose to load I got a completely blank screen. Could it be a dead harddrive? How could I check?

 

[edmicman]

ummmmm don't replace almost every component in a pc and expect it to come back up perfect? did you install everything right? does the bios come up and just the OS won't start? you might have to reformat and reinstall

what exactly do you mean the os wont boot? how far does it get? where does it stop?

The computer gave me a complete blank screen right before the part when the window logo was suppose to pop up

reinstall OS...(not XP though)

thanks for the reminder... gotta go get my utada hikaru cd...eheh

If you replaced so much hardware, you have to reinstall your OS.

Keep in mind that if you get a blank screen before the logo is supposed to come up, you might have a failed hard drive. I had the same problem.

How can I reinstall when my computer froze after I start it up?

Yah man, you really have to elaborate a little more. First...does it post, second...can you get into the bios, and third...can you boot off of a floppy?

Ok from the looks of things, you may be screwed. But if you have a boot disk, thats a start if not you need access to one. Since you can get online, you've got a computer (hopely PC) that you can use to make one. Secondly see if you can load your cd drivers on the boot disk, and see if you can access your C: Drive, if all those things are good then you can install from the CD after you boot from the boot disk.

Alternatively, if windows wont boot you might want to try holding F8, right before the splash screen is supposed to come up, this should give you a option menu to start in safe/MS-DOS/Normal Mode. Go to MS-DOS and try to access you CD-ROM Drive from there. If you can't you need to load the cd drivers in your config.sys file.
