Hi I really need help with a pc problem!!!!!
When I let win98 finish loading it sometimes hangs and I press the restart button, sometimes when I do this I get up to the black DOS screen just b4 it checks for the floppy and it hangs again, and I press restart again and then I just get a black screen. I then switch it off and wait and then its ok. I haven’t installed anything I don’t think would cause this.
WIN98 SE
AUD PLAYER
AMD XP 1800
Geforce 4 MX
JETWAY MOTHERBOARD
512 RAM
Please help as I have already formated it...do you think it could be a HD problem?
Thanks

Could be many things. When you get a proper complete bootup, check out the device manager see if you have any conflicts of any sort. Usually can tell by the yellow exclamation mark next to a device. Run scandisk/Defrag, see what gets revealed upon completion (bad sectors??). Maybe a virus? Do you have AntiVirus installed? Try to run a complete AV scan of hardrive/partitions and/or a spyware/adware scan with AdAware. Maybe something there??? Many possibilities.
Just a few places to start, but alas a start for now.

Thanks for the info CornerPocket. I have checked out the device manager for any conflicts and found none. I have also ran Scan disk and defrag, no bad sectors and no probs. I am also running PC-Cillian 2003 with the latest update and it finds no viruses, also I have looked for spy/adware using Ad-aware 6 pro didn’t find a thing. Can you suggest anything else?
Oh also 2day it wouldn’t load into the 1st dos screen and hung once in windows but for the past few hours its been ok but am sure it will prob hang again at somepoint, any more help would be really great.
Thanks again
