Computer not booting up

xini · 08-13-2008, 09:18 AM

Hello
Am having problems - big time.I was using 'EasyCleaner' . I clicked on find 'duplicate files' and when it found a list of these i deleted them.I turned off my computer and on restart - it wont boot up. The screen is blank. I can get into the bios using f8 - but when i try and boot up in safe mode - nothing happens. Could anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Xini

I have also tried to boot up using 'last known good configuration' but to no avail

Id guess a repair install of windows would be in order. As I have never done a repair install I cant tell you the method to follow. I havent heard of EasyCleaner before. Are you 100% sure its a safe program? Most of these "boost your speeds or spyware cleaner" programs are infact programs that install nasty nasty viruses.

Thanks,
That would be fine if i had a repair or OS disc but the pc didn't come bundled with it.
Yes EasyCleaner is an opensource legit prog.
I take full blame

Try to boot up with only the needed hardware connected. mobo.cpu.1stick ram.1 hd.

By any mean, get a hold of an OS disk and run repair.
That will solve it.

I've used easycleaner, yes it's a valid program.

Yes, you need to do a repair install. Sounds like it wiped out a system file.
