Touch wood.
Just after saying to someone nothing has gone wrong with my pc's for years now with my security...BAM!
My computer 'freezes'
It started Tuesday night....and I havent been able to fix it since....
I was only able to get into windows in safe mode, and removed all my precious data....
So from there, I thought, easy way to fix it is format and reinstall the OS....
Well this is where I'm now stuck...
I formatted and renistalled windows, only to get to the part of the install where the system asks for time, keyboard layout etc etc and BAM!
It froze again...
After rebooting, system came up with a series of errors, including requiring password, and would not start or progree any further, just said reboot....
So I have tried again, reformatted and reinstalled my OS, and have got the same result....it freezes during the install process, stuffin the install.
So what is wrong? how can I fix this?
I'm guessing that if ive done a format and reinstall, its not a virus as all has been wiped clean....
So Im guessin its either a hardware problem, or something to do with BIOs???
What can I do from here, how can I figure out the problem???
