hello, today i have come accross a problem that i hope somebody else across these forums have encountered.
i was trying to install a new adsl connection so what i did was turn off the computer, then the switch on the tower, followed by the switch at the powerpoint.
after i turned everything back on, there was an error with the CMOS, it had been reset. I went to cmos and changed the date and time back to what it should be ( it was set back to 2004). after this i tried to load up the system, and it asks me if i want to start windows in safemode blah blah blah. i chose safe mode first. but after it trying to load it just resets after loading.
after this i tried everything i could think of even changing my ram to see if i had fried my ram. but still the system wont load.
so then i tried to format and reinstall windows i load the cd and wait for the windows install cd to load, as soon as it finishes loading, the cd rom stops and then i get a blue screen with the error c0000221 unknown hard error or something and some ntdll.dll i think following it.
the computer was completely fine before i turned off the power... so im thinking maybe it might be my HDD, PSU or MB.
If anybody knows to fix this problem or have come across it please let me know, so i can decide on what to replace.
thank you in advance
