hi,
my PC is just one big problem
every time i run scandisc i have to fix the boot (something) and the computerscreen just turns into black, it's like the computer just turns off, when it's still on
my explorer-programme doesn't work
i know i should just install everything over again, but there's to much on the disc i don't wanna loose

Maybe to start check and make sure your CPU fan is working.
And do a virus check.

I think what he means is to open the case and check to see that the cooling fan on top of the processor is working. If the processor gets too hot, I can cause all sorts of problems, such as errors, crashes, non-boots, etc. ((ROTHFL.. d@mn right I can cause all kinds of problems! Do it all the time. I=it It was too funny to edit out, though..)

My memory went bad (probably from me screwing around inside hehehe), and it caused similar problems.

Try to be as specific as possible when presenting problems here.. even list the error codes and such if you can. The people helping you here (not really me /forum/smile.gif ) are HARD CORE users/techs/etc, and possess endless knowledge! lol A little thickly laid on, but true..
Good luck!
