Restart, or reboot problem

[Guest deejaydee]

Hi Readers,

I have this problem in restarting when needed to , like

when installing updates & apps etc.

i have had it for a while , not knowing whether it is a software or hardware

fault.

 

I have a fresh install of XP Pro SP3, just a fews days old, the system

works perfectly otherwise, fully updatated . I tend to think it is a

hardware fault.

have already checked out Ram , 2 legs @ 512 + 2legs @ 256

 

my system is a Dell Dimension 4600i P4 3g 1.5 Ram. 3 separate HDD.

could it possibly be the button on the front panel

You forgot to describe what the problem is, exactly, and what you are doing

when the problem occurs.

Example- "I try to restart by clicking Start | Turn off Computer | Restart.

Then the computer says "Logging off ...", but just hangs there. No error

message."

{Your actual experience - what you do; what the computer does; is there an

error message/ if so, what is the exact wording of the message? Also, what,

if anything, have you already done to try to "fix" the problem.}

Are you dense?

 

"it does not restart". AFTER YOU DO WHAT?!

 

"I start anew"... means WHAT?!

 

Last chance or you go to the boob bin.

Re: Restart, or reboot problem

 

presuming you followed

dells recommendation

on ram configuration,

 

you might try is to remove

the additional ram and

try your system with only

a 512 ram chip .

 

windows will run just

fine on 512 and you

should see if the boot

up issue resolves.

 

if not, then i would test

the other 512.

 

------------

it is not uncommon that

ram goes bad.

 

also mix and matching different

ram modules is not always

successful on some mobo's.

Re: Restart, or reboot problem

 

Thank you DB

I've followed dells recomendation , earlier this

looking for a bad one but never found one. I'll give it another shot

tomorrow probably and see how it goes hoping

i can resolve it, its not a bad unit otherwise just this niggly piggly

restart, when you have to.
