Aloha
My computer shut off one night and nothing worked except when I tried to turn it on all I got was a 1 second flash of lights. So I thought it was the PSU, still the same thing changed the CPU and the same thing, left the cpu out and it started up but of course no monitor, needed the cpu? So I purchased a invidia mobo. Installed it and it turns on but it says I need to insert boot disk?
I pushed key board f-? keys and got a launch start up repair screen and proceeded to let windows correct problem the message I got is
Root cause found
Start up repair has tried several times but still cannnot determine the cause of the problem
System disk=\device\harddisk0
Windows directory =c:\windows
Autochk run = 0
Number of root causes = 1
I am lost should I consider a new hard drive and if so is it possible to retrieve my information off the old hd?
Thanks
Marty
