Press F8 after your PC boots to get to the Advanced Startup options - then select boot in VGA mode.

 

If it boots ok, change your screen resolution back to the standard settings.

 

Help!

I'm having the same problem with my wireless laptop - it keeps turning itself off and then restarts with the message 'no bootable CD ROM on ATAP CD Rom'. I have tried the above and then a screen appears with the following message:-

'A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your pc. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:-

Disable or uninstall anti-viruses, disk defragment or back up utilities. Check hard drive configuration and checkcheck for updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, then restart your PC and lists tech info 0x00000024 and 4 other codes'??

 

I hope someone can help with this, as I am not technically minded at all

Hi,

 

Check the boot order in the BIOS.

Switch on and tap the DEL key.

You should get a message on screen that says " Press **** to enter Setup" if DEL doesn't get you there.

( could be f2 or other )

 

Look for BOOT or BOOT ORDER or similar ( use the arrow keys ). All BIOS systems are different.

 

Check the boot order.

It should be 1.CDROM 2.Hard-drive then possibly other options.

 

If it isn't then change the order ( select the hard-drive for instance and use the + key )

There is usually a pane on the right that gives you instructions how to alter the order.

 

Try making the Hard drive first in the boot order if you are still having problems.

 

You will need to Save ( usually f10 - it should say on screen ) and Exit.
