Ok, my other computer is currently down(im running linux on this one), but the way
it went down and whats wrong is a question i can't seem to answer. I didn't change
anything at all before the last shut down, all i did was burn a cd image for and
then i shut the computer down so i could install linux on this computer(using the
power and monitor and keyboard from the dead pc). nothing else was done on the computer
since the last shutdown/restart.
The most recent problem is this. after i shut it down and it sat for about 30 min,
i went to power it back up when my dad noticed it wasn't getting past the windows
98 startup or splash screen.
I have tried starting the computer in safe mode, the comp freezes like before.
i try to bypass the startup and run just the command prompt, and it freezes in the
dos application, never getting to the prompt.
i can access the startup menus before the splash screen where i can change different
options(typical F1 setup screen). I can view the boot log but it doesn't say anything
helpful. I can't boot from a cd because i don't have that cd, so thats out(for now).
Someone please help me! i don't know whats left to do.
