I spent 2 days on the phone talking to the M$ " support" trying to
save an installation that would get to "activate" then restart. In
the end, they told me they knew the solution, but they could not give
it to me, so I had to reload the OS. I could have saved a LOT of
time by not bothering to ask the so called "Experts"
Best thing, is to take the drive out, add it to a working computer;
transfer all files to be saved off of it; then wipe the drive and
reload.
I hope someone can help me with a Windoze machine -- it's my
brother's HP, about 6 years old or so. Put another used (supposedly
working) board in because the original was suffering from overheat
shudowns in spite of cleaning the heat sink, replacing the fan, and
using Arctic Sliver thermal paste.
My problem is that although it booted up, when I tried to
re-activate Windows it reboots instead. Eventually it won't reboot.
It did load new drivers for all the "new" hardware (new MB), and
will run just fine in safe mode, but crashes in a variety of ways
when I attempt to start windows normally.
I have not replaced the power supply (will try that tomorrow), but
get an occasional blue screen of death telling me that (DUH) I have
a device driver problem. Of course I do, I can't load them after
repairing the installation because it won't start!.
Any advice (beside buy a Mac, which is what I would do)?
Thanks!
ps. I hate windoze.
