holidaybob Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi I have a problem with my video display when booting up my computer in the morning. The computer is booting up as I get the welcome tone but no display. I have to press the reboot button several times for the display to come up. Sometime when rebooting I get the motherboard logo and the XP logo but then no welcome screen. Also when it come to shutting down it lake about 5 minutes form when I press the turn off button till the computer switches off. Any ideas what the problem is.

keeniau96 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Seems you have some software problems, thus immediately suggesting virus, worms, etc. Or could just be a cluttered Windows system, which tends to develop over time due to accumulation of miscellaneous junk. Go to Microsoft site and get the Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), whichis really quite good for detection and elimination of many forms of malware. Good to have in any event.

Nio Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 In Windows click start button, then click all programs accessories, then click on system tools and final click disk defragmentor. Click the analyze button and see how many percent your hard disk is fragmented? If this is more than 10% fragmented, click on defragment and defrag your hard drive The hard drive is like a highway If you never repair the highway you end up with a million potholes The car (pc) starts down the highway at top speed and bam, falls in a pothole. Then the car (pc) has to climb out of pothole and start down highway again Starting this over and over will drastically reduce the performance of your PC Defragmenting will fix all the potholes in the highway Norton System Utilities is the best program for this but if you don't have, use Windows defragmenter Degragging is something you should get in the habit of adding to routine pc maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holidaybob Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi I've run MSE and found no problems also ran the defragmenter last week and that didn't cure the problem. I'm wondering if its a problem with the monitor although once I get a display its OK. Thanks anyway for the suggestions Cheers Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
