OK. another problem. has caused me endless frustrations and i fear that my reset button will soon wear out ![Smilie :) :)](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
anyway, there i was, happily crunching away at a SETI WU when suddenly my computer freezes. (This was my first time running SETI@HOME) And freezes like i have never seen XP freeze before... mouse not to be seen, ctrl-alt-del not working: nothing
so i reset
i gets to the windows XP startup progress meter thing and it goes about 3/4 of the way, stops, fills the progression thing completely and then freezes. Same with safe mode and all other modes.
i a little through re-installing XP during my last problem, so now i cant run the recovery console when i enter the XP CD: all i can do its start a new installation, exit, or finish the current one. If i choose to continue, it freezes, if i choose a new installation, it freezes after the "press F6 for" and "press F2 for.."
Someone please help me: i can't afford to reformat
