Hi all,
been a while since my last visit, all has been good.
I have a HP xw4600 workstation, 2 Gb RAM, Nvidia Quadro NVS 295,
Originally a Win7 pro O/s, with a Win8 Pro "overlay". all has been good til this week when it doesn't make it to the desktop.
I get win8 box logo, allows me to login, then just the cursor on a black screen?
stalls but HDD light working, different rates of flashing. Ctrl + alt + del = normal?? get options, select task Manager, window opens?? see everything with no apps working, services has trend running. several reboots later, I tried inserting win 8 disc, hoping for some diagnostic, no, I finally get a msg scrn flash of around 15 words beginning with "Your PC" then too quick to auto reboot.
should I try the win7 disc??
although puter literate, (and old) I haven't played much with win8
prefer 7 (thus set to boot to desktop)
Any suggestions as to where to start please.
Thanks guys
