Problems with a howard

PropogandaPanda · 09-21-2004, 07:23 AM

Hello all, I am Jive and I have a problem with a Howard Computer that is in my technology discovery class. I don't entirely know if this is the best place to post computer problems, but I still need some major help with this computer (that I think is marked by the devil).
Alright so here's what goes down, I start up the computer and it has an error message saying that there is a disk error and that a disk needs to be checked for consistency and it displays the serial number of the computer. Then it checks the disk for errors and once it reaches 100% it displays a message that says "off mode in five seconds" and then it enters this bizarre limbo-like state in which all operations of the computer are off but the computer itself does not turn off.
I aplogize for any bad terminology on my part, but I really need some help with this. So if you need me to reiterate or clarify any of what I said I will be glad to do so. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Propoganda Panda

PS I don't know if this is any help at all, but the computer is a howard, thanks again.
