problems so far.....
my son's dell dimension desktop stopped booting up, it does not even get to the windows splash screen then reboots itself. I put original disk back in and done both a dskchk /r and fixboot, the machine would boot after this but then if rebooted would not work. eventually managed to get what uni work I could off it for him and reformatted drive and reinstalled windows, was working ok last night and this morning then he had to download an update for office to allow him to open stuff done on another version and when he rebooted now have blue screen of death with stop error.
I have tried to repair disk but will not boot at all so wondering if it is the hard drive so opened up to try another hard drive in but it only takes sata drives and I do not have a spare one and don't want to buy in case it is not the HD.
anyone any ideas if it looks like the HD...?
there are no noises coming from HD
thanks
