Guys,
Lately my pc has taken to shutting itself down just after the xp window when i've been booting it up.Now I cant get on to the desktop at all even with safe mode or booting with the disc,just the clunk as she turns herself off.I get a message ''dram timing too tightly,reset timing''.What does it all mean and what kind of grammer is this.Would welcome any suggs,
cheers

Attemp to get in the BIOS. Usually this is accomplished by pressing F11 or other designated F key before you reach the windows loading screen. This is not the System Setup or Boot Menu, and probably isn't a key that is labeled before your startup. If you can't get in to in time, just wait until windows loads and shutdown as safely as possible. Let us know if you make it into the BIOS.
