I have a dell optiplex gx 260 – new hd 500gb, 2gb memory. 2 cd/dvd writers. This was working fine. I reloaded the os and then restored the data 2 months ago. 9 days ago turned on the computer, saw the dell splash screen with options of F2/12 then splash screen went off like normal and all I had was a blinking prompt in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Booted to diagnostics – all passed. Swapped power supplies. same result wouldn’t boot from hd. Reformatted hd, reloaded windows and minimum software – office, anti-virus, adobe stuff, firefox. Added users. Worked great.
Next day wouldn’t boot again. Followed same process of reformatting hd and loading os and sw. This time made ghost image. I have reloaded the ghost image 5 times and the computer runs great for a day. But it will not boot again after a day. I have even swapped hard drives.
Any idea what the problem is?

Dell OptiPlex GX 260 computer problems – Won’t boot from HD?
I need help w/ a corrupt registry-I have a windows xp recovery disk but have never used it?
It started several months ago, my system 32 files pop up @ startup-so I ran a free scan of my registry and it shows over a thousand errors-the free downloads only fix a few of them in the trial version-I DO have a windows xp recovery disk, but I am afraid I will do more damage that good. I have tried to use the restore feature, but the only dates it will let me select are for this month only-the pc is 3 years old…I tried to toggle back a year or so, but the month on the calendar is stuck on December. (I was under the impression that restore points auto-set when new programs are added ???)
If I attempt to install flash on my secondary user accounts, I get errors saying a system 32 file can’t be found.
I have used the uninstall program from adobe and reinstalled it then ran c-cleaner, cleared cookies, I have rebooted, adjusted all user accounts to have admin. privledges, tried everything I can find online with no luck. Can someone help, please?
computer repair estimate costs???
Roughly how much would it cost for a small business to get the following done to their HP laptops by a computer repair firm (11 HP laptops):
-reformat HDDs
-install windows XP
-install adobe acrobat
-install an anti-virus programme
-install MS office
-run a full diagnostic
-clean the exterior of the PCs
how much would it cost, excluding any transportation costs, and costs of buying the software?
what would be the average cost? is per PC (0 total) a good deal for buyer and seller?
i know i could do all this by myself…i am doing it for someone else…just wanted to make sure i was giving them a good deal, but not too good.
oh well, no such thing as too low of a price as long as we stay afloat.
