Topic: My Puter is dead RIP
well it finely happened my old reliable HP Pavilion running a windows xp home edition gave up the ghost the hard drive is kaput when I start it the logo screen comes on then the windows welcome screen with the lights scrolling across the bottom and then Poof and my monitor says "no signal" I am able to start it in safe mode and I have tried system restore that works and the computer starts after a very long time and runs normally but when I shut down and try a restart NADA same thing,I was able to get it going again and downloaded TweakU (from windows) its supposed to fix the problem but nooooooooo I was trying to eliminate the start screens and go directly to the desk screen but no luck so it looks like I will have to buy another dinosaur cheap to replace it because I run my digital recorder to it to make mp3's in Audacity and as a backup to my Gateway Vista ho ho ho
