Anyone good with computers? - pirate - 30-06-08

Mines broke Sad

It turns on fine but when it gets to the log in screen the monitor goes onto stand by. But if I type in my password it still logs on as I can hear the log on noise

Tried changing the resolution & refresh rate in "safe mode" but it wont let me

Even the refresh rate in safe modes screwed as it takes forever to refresh if I scroll anything

And to top it all off my sounds now not working, tried testing it in directx but its not detecting a sound card

So bloody annoying I could throw it out the window! Mad

i'm not good.. i'm best! Laughing

j/k. have you installed anything new lately? try boot ur windows in safe mode (google it, don't be that lazy Laughing)

RE: Anyone good with computers? - pirate - 30-06-08

I have googled it! But thought they might be some I.T technician lurking on here somewhere Razz

And it does start in safe mode as I said up there ^^^^

I also did a system restore but that didn't work either

I'd ask my old man but I know he's out. If you've had no luck by later on, I'll give hima quizzing for you.

Here y'are Con.

"Could be a a driver issue. If your friend has recently upgraded any drivers for her sound and video cards she should roll them back (although it would be obvious to her if it happened after installing new ones so it's unlikely to be this).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283657

Or she should do a system restore to before the problems occurred: Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
Select a date on the calender when she knew the PC was working and restore back to that point.

If she has changed the settings in her BIOS/setup screen (for instance accidentally disabled her onboard sound and video if they were used rather than dedicated sound and video cards) she should take the side cover off and (with the power off and unplugged) remove the little button battery from the motherboard and wait a few minutes before putting it back in and booting up. Again this is very unlikely as she hasn't mentioned having a tinker with the bios settings."
