Windows XP SP3 does not start

My friends Cpu to turn on/off the system makes throgh POST on the display of the MESSAGE and then hangs on the PCI Device Listing...

Verifying DMI Pool Data...

It's on a P4 Socket 470 850 Chipset, RDRAM, WD 120 GHz HD, McAffe Anti-vires, 350W Pwr Suply, Ge Force 6200 AGP.

Hi again

Well I'm glad you got it up and running again. As you run fixmbr we believe only you had a corrupted master boot record. It could have been the virus you had, but do not explain why you can't boot from the CD.

But it seems to work fine now. If you are not sure of your MBR and think that there is always a virus hides somewhere there is a detection program capable of analyzing your MBR for all changes that have taken place. The programs name is MBRCheck and you can get it here http://ad13.geekstogo.com/MBRCheck.exe

You should be able to run it in Windows Normal or if your McAfee blocks it try safe mode.

But I think McAfee would have found a boot sector virus.

  • Windows xp sp3 does not start after the failure of windows update and restart.

    Hello

    My ADVENT 3217 pc runs windows xp sp3 does not start once a windows recently failed update and restarted. He's just in a reboot loop. The first time it happened I got an error code of c000021a. I tried pressing F8 and try to start safe mode and other options... but still nothing.

  • Windows XP SP3 does not start after power failure

    I've known a sequence of power failure while my computer was on. When the power was restored, I couldn't boot into Windows. Windows stops before loading the Welcome screen and hangs. I tried in "Safe Mode" and "Restore Point", but always impossible to load up to 'user account screen '. I am running XP SP3.

    I tried recovery of original windows CD. No joy. I ran chkdsk with the option/r several times and fixboot as well, without success. Help, please!

    Just type fixmbr at the command prompt in Recovery Console.

  • Windows Firewall service does not start after the removal of Virus

    Hello

    I believe that my son's computer has been infected with the Trojan.Agent.Ed virus.  I managed to remove it (from different folders in AppData), but a few vestiges remain of course.  The windows firewall service does not start - it throws an exception to access denied on startup and when I try to start the service manually.
    I tried to run the Sysinternals Process Monitor to display all events ACCESS DENIED and checked the permissions on the key to registry MpsSvc in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services and compared to a corresponding Windows 7 machine.  I've even exported the key MpsSvc and sous-branches of the laptop in good health and tried to import into a failure, but the import does not seem to occur, even if it gives a message "imported".
    I also tried the troubleshooting of Windows Firewall that confusedly says:
    "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall... Not fixed
    "Set permissions for the registry keys involved"... succeeded
    "Windows Firewall service is not started. Not fixed
    "Starting the Firewall Service"... succeeded
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • My copy registered and checked for XP Pro SP3 does not start after changing the motherboard. Second problem is that I can't find my original install of XP Pro disc.

    After failing to find the source of reliable performance from my PC, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the motherboard, memory and the CPU. I installed a triple base 435 Athlon and a motherboard Gigabyte MA74GMT. Awarded PC again started the first time - but Windows will not, I get a number of options but none work - safe mode brings up several lines of messages on the partition of multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0).

    A previous post suggested that a similar message meant some kind of malware but if I replace the old motherboard, processor and memory Windows works very well - in fact I use it now.

    Do I have an option but to reinstall Windows from a CD? Otherwise I have a problem - I can't find the installation discs for each piece of software except my Windows XP Pro! I do repair discs?

    Thanks for your help.
