Dunno what happened, tried to update my antivirus and it kept saying it couldnt update until i corrected the time and date on my computer o.O so I rebooted to see if that would work. But it didn't. Then my mouse stopped working randomly so i rebooted again only this time it asked it i wanted to start up in safe mode, restore to the last working session or start normally. I clicked start normally blue screen appeared and it rebooted, i clicked restore, it went black then rebooted, i tried opening in safe mode again it went black and rebooted
So o.o unless anyone knows what might be causing it and how i can fix it i think my computer is pretty much dead

Check the battery, it sounds as if the Battery that powers the bios is dead.
On startup can you use F2 to get to the bios screen you may need to reset the motherboard time.

it didn't come with a disk because the drives partitioned with all the stuff for wiping the hard drive back to factory settings on one site which you can get into pressing F10 on start up but it crashes when i try to do that.

Battery? tis a desktop compy.

if it helps it stopped on blue screen long enough for me to get the code at the bottom when i last tried. thats *** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x8A05F008, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)

Not sure what I can do with it really, never had problems getting into the other side of the hard drive to repair things or restore it to factory settings, never had a problem where it wont even let me load up on safe mode either o.o

Even Desktop computers have a battery, it powers the CMOS, when the computer turns off it needs to maintain settings. This is powered by a battery similar to those used in watches.

I'm afraid that this is just a cut and paste from another site (geekswhoknow.com)


quote:

This stop error means that your ntfs file system is corrupt (damage in the file system, bad hard drive data, corrupt SCSI or IDE drivers or a corrupt ntfs.sys file).

How do I resolve the problem?



There are two ways,

1, If you still can access Windows, try to disable any backup programs, virus scanning programs or disk defragmenter tools. Try also to run a hardware diagnostics tool to detect any errors your hard drive might have. And run chkdsk /r to detect and repair any file system structural damage.

2, If you are unable to load Windows. Then you should try to access your ntfs partitions by making a ntfs boot disk with NTFS4DOS (freeware). You can download it from http://www.geekswhoknow.com/files/ntfsinst.exe You will need a floppy disk.

After you load the bootable floppy disk onto your damaged system, select either option one (1) or option three (3). If you selected option one (1), type chkdsk /r at the command prompt, and your problem should go away after the disk has been repaired.

Note! Unfortunately there is a chance that your partition is corrupt beyond repair and all of your data is lost. In that case, you need to reformat the partition to be able to use it again.

Good luck!
