Hi,
I have Windows XP SP2 installed on my PC - problem is when I start my PC the system keeps crashing / rebooting. It takes about 5-6 attempts before PC will work. Also I get blue screen at times.

I have checked/repaired any malware issues and the system seem's to be malware free at the moment.

I have ran chkdsk 3 times - it found errors in the Volume Bitmap so I ran chkdsk c: /F 3 times also - however, the problem is not fixed - system is still crashing.

Would appreciate any assistance on this.

thanks

Hi
Its the disc manufactures name thats importnat ( have a look in Device manager) so you can visist their website and download the disc checking tools to see whats going on.

Two questions for you:

1 Have you backed up everthing (that's important to you) on your machine, to external media, including docs, photos, settings, drivers, emails, favourites, etc? and kept the executables for your Applications safe together with your other Application install discs, serial keys and your Windows Install disc and serial key?

2 What happened when you ran checkdsk /r
and what was the screen message at the end?
Regards
paws
