BSOD constant while booting issue, help?

September 3, 2009

*Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
*0xD1 error with other sectors listed (i.e. 0xeed77cf1)
*PXE-E61 failed on network LAN boot
WinXP, SP2 (had SP3, but downgraded due to vulnerability problems).
AMD, Compaq Presario M2105US

System Restore (need to be in "normal mode") & Last Known Configuration don’t help.

Chkdsk fails on reboot and scandisk does not run in safe mode

BIOS settings have been reset to default

I had Symantec Anti-virus w/Live Update, but that has not been performing well lately and I deleted it as Live Update was not actually Live Updating it. Any anti-virus software I dl, it refuses for some odd reason. What I do have installed is Malware Bytes & Wise Registry Cleaner 4.

I have seen most tech forums on the Web and none of them have been providing me a right answer, so I will take suggestions from here. Thanks to those that help me, I truly appreciate it. 🙂

I use Windows XP and I want to clean out (delete) junk files. How do I go about deleting junk files?

July 27, 2009

I was wanting to clean out the junk files in my computer without purchasing a program to do it. This question is directed to a computer geek or someone with this knowledge. How do I delete or clean out the junk files in my computer for better performance? My computer is a couple years old and is a Compaq Presario SR1130NX and I use Windows XP. Thank you for whatever advice you send to me.

My computer didn’t come with a Windows XP or clean up disk?

June 28, 2009

My computer is really messed up but it didn't come with any sort of disk…Its a Compaq. On the tower it says Compaq Presario SR1403WM. We bought it from a store. I think Best Buy or something but anyways it would be way out of warrenty by now. It has been years. I want to start it fresh (system restore wont cut it) and even if I did find a way to start fresh it didn't come with a windows XP disk to reinstall….My mom would have thrown the receipt away by now. HELP?

What can I do to make my computer speed up?

May 27, 2009

I use an Compaq Presario SR1103WM when I'm at my Dad's house. We've had it for about 2 or 3 years, and used it for everything from games to internet to whatever you can think of. However, it's outdated now, but I can't afford any major upgrades or to buy a new computer right now, so I'm trying to figure out how to run it better. The only specs I know are:

248 RAM (8mb is diverted to video memory) max is 1 GB
Intel Celeron(P) 325 2.56 GHz
40 GB HD

I have no clue about what the video card is, I've had it 3 years and still can't figure it out. Sorry the specs aren't very informative, but you could probably Google the rest if you need it. Right now it's on a dial-up connection, which I only use for instant messaging. Like I said, as of right now I can't really afford to upgrade it, but here in about a month I can. We're also getting Road Runner for it, which should speed up the internet connection a bit. Besides upgrading it, what else could I do to make it faster?
Also, I have deleted a lot of old software that I don't ever use anymore, and I just figured out how to clean the hard drive, so I did that for the first time in 3 years and it is sped up slightly.
