yeah, i am probably gonna tak it into a shop because that seems easier!!!! thanx for trying tho!!!

i have tried all that. bu its no working. recovery cds arrived last saturday. this is not looking good. its rather frustrating actually.

so, would i need to download windows 2000 service packs to fix my pc?

I didn't download media center, i bought it from a website (digital-sunrise.co.uk). for more info on the stop error message, here it is: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer A thread tried to release a resource it didn’t own. If this is the first time this you have seen this stop error screen, restart computer. If this appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask you hardware of software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software, disable BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove r disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced start-up options, then select safe mode.

yes, i got windows media centre 2005 from the internet.

ok these are the specs for the computer: Intel Pentium 4 640 Processor 3.20GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB Cache 1GB DDR2 RAM 80GB Hard Disk Drive Multi-Format Dual Layer DVD RW Drive 128MB ATi Radeon X200 Graphics

It passed, no errors nothing. so what now?

no its not, it keeps restarting at the black windows xp screen with the bar going across. sometimes i get stop error messages. here is the tech info i get. 0x000000E3, 0x805591A0, 0x85342328, 0x00000003 and 0x000000E3, 0x8535EA28, 0x85474378, 0x00000003 I noticed the two codes in the middle (0x805591A0, 0x85342328 and 0x8535EA28, 0x85474378) tend to change every time i restart my computer. what does this mean? what can be the problem now?

the thing is, my pc ain't working, i can't access my internet through my pc, so to access this site, i am using my sisters pc. can i still peform a scan on my pc any other way? like with a bootable cd rom on start up!

ok, downloaded that memory test on the website u gave me. now runnin the test. just finding out from my supplier what type of memory i require. once i have found out, will purchase it then test it.

the reason i never responded to those posts as for some reason, my pc started to work again. and the problems i had i managed to solve them on my own. anway, i cleaned ram, that didn't seem to do it. I tend to use my pc more for work and watching films and sometimes use it for games. how do i check to see if my memory is good? The stop error messages tend to be different everytim i get them and i don't always get hem. lik the other day, i left my computer on but it was just a constant black screen.

if that means formatting hard drive, then, yes i have done that!!!

i was never supplied one, there was a recovery partition on the pc already but i erased it when i used a windows xp disc totry and restore xp.

Hi I have a EI systems e314 pc running windows media centre 2005. now i have had this problem since september last year and don't know what to do. i have pretty much tried everything. Basically, when i switch my pc on, it loads up ok until it gets to the windows xp screen it just automatically restarts. i spoke to tech guys through email who seemd to be the only people i know that deals with ei systems computers. i told them what i done (i tried reinstalling xp with genuine xp disc), and said that i needed to use the recovery software that they provided. so i ordered that on thursday and it arrived today. put it in and i still keep getting the same problem though. it also keeps getting stop error messages if i press f8 and disable automatic restart on system failure. I found that disabling L1 and L2 caching in bios fixes it but pc moves really slow. its on now but all it is black screen with the mouse arrow on it. What seems to be the problem and how can it be resolved? Can you recommend any cheap technicians to come out and look at it?

Hi there, I have a Logitech Quickcam Messenger that was given to me by a friend because he couldn't get it to work, basically the problem is when i go to install the relevant software, during the process, it asks me to put the webcam into my computer (its a USB connection) but for some reason it doesn't detect that i have put it in. but when i come out of the software installation and put it in, windows detects it and in the device manager, it has a yellow exclamation mark next to the word 'camera' under the 'other devices' section. what seems to be the problem? is it my computer or the webcam itself?
