MNETEL Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 I have a Dell dimension XPS Gen 4 w/ Intel pentium 4 processor 3.46GHz, 1066FSB W/ HT TECHNOLOGY, EXTREME EDITION Running MSW MCE 2005...on ATA RAID 0, Dual 160GB Hard Drives...Here is my situation, When I turn on my computer, after the Dell logo appears, I then receive a black screen w/ a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner, If I power it on & off a number of times, It will then boot up...Is there anyway to fix this situation ???
ranjit jacob Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 i don't think its a Media center issue, why don't u try to get into recovery console (if u have) and run chkdsk /r. Or next time when u boot up get into msconfig and enable only the bootable files, and disable the rest !!
MNETEL Posted April 21, 2006 Author Posted April 21, 2006 RANJIT JACOB, THANKS FOR THE INFO, DID BOTH OF THOSE W/ NO LUCK & DELL HAS KNOW IDEA EITHER, FIGURE THATOUT, WELL I WILL HAVE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ONE, WHEN I HAVE A CLEAR MIND & SOME EXTRA TIME, THANKS AGAIN !!!
ranjit jacob Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Don't call DELL immediately, they will ask u do a system recovery on ur PC. u can try a BIOS Defaults, system restore if u are able to boot to desktop..all the best !!
