I've got a problem with my fookin PC, again!

It started last night when I went to switch the PC on and wasn't looking what I was doing, I accidently pushed the reset button instead of the power button.

After doing that the PC just comes on but won't even reach the start-up menu, it won't beep when it comes on and then just hangs on a black screen!

After a few minutes of switching it on and off on the power button, randomly pressing the reset button and pulling the kettle lead out the back and re-inserting etc, it finally decides to power up properly and work!

Once it's up and running it's good as gold and works fine, so i'm thinking that maybe there's a problem in the startup registry or something?

Really I know fook all about PC's so if anyone can advise me on if there's anything I can run to sort it would be much appreciated!

Thanks

 

left click start then.left click control panel.double left click power options..click on advanced..have a look what options you have enabled for your sleep button

you can have different options via the power control panel

hope this helps...

 

take it to ratty

 

Power Button = Shut Down & Sleep Button = Stand by

Now what?

Jase, it's looking that way...

 

Are you using Vistas or XP? I think Vistas is wank, I keep having to restart. Has anyone ditched it and went back to running XP?

 

I'm running XP Home Edition mate

 

Bump

 

Up for the daytime crew, please help as it crashed again last night!

Help before it goes through my bedroom window rock star style!
