Hi,
Today I have had a big problem with my PC. Whilst using it, it suddenly froze and the mouse and keyboard stopped functioning. So I manually shut down the computer by pressing the power button on the front. This usually solves teh problem when my computer is frozen but this time it didnt. When it began to load it stayed on the "Intel Inside P4" logo for a rather long time, so I turned it off manually again. This time it took a long time to load and again stayed on the "intel inside P4" screen for about 20 minutes. After waiting it eventually loaded to a black and white screen with the words "PCI device listing..." and a large table with all sorts of information in a tabulated form. Then at the bottom in capital letters "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". When I bought the PC I had no such discs. I have tried reseting the computer a couple of times but this doent help at all.
I am using a Medion MD 8383 XL Desktop Computer. Here is some other information about it.
Intel Pentium 4 Processor 550, 3.4GHz, Intel 915P Chipset
Pioneer 16x Dual Layer Multi Format DVD/CD Writer
Western Digital 250GB Hard Disc, 8MB Cache, 7200 rpm
512MB memory, DDr 400 MHz
The PC is about 10 months old and I use it very frequently.
Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S. As you may have gathered I dont have a great understanding of computers so go easy
