Hello all
my friend put together this desktop for me last year (p4 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM, dont remember the Mother board brand) WinXP Pro. it worked fine for about 6 months
then i stopped using it for about a year (i moved out of state, left it in storage) .
when i wanted to use it last week, i connected the power, it will start, pass the POST, then a windows Screen will show saying an error has occurred and it ask me whether i want to start the last good known configuration or start in safe mode, problem is my keyboard is not working at this point (dont know why, i used different PS2/USB keyboard but all didnt work)
so i cannot choose a boot option, it will choose "the last good configuration" when the timer expires after 30 seconds and the windows XP loading screen will show, it will then reboot :-(
what sort of problem should i look for? could it be Hardware or software?
Thanks
