Running WinXPSP2 with all the updates.(I use Windows updates.)
While playing a game the machine made a static noise through the speakers and the screen went dark.
I rebooted and got a message that I had "disk failure" and for me to let windows scan the disk. It returned an O. K. Rebooted again this time it started to windows but when it got to the log-in screen it went dark and rebooted itself then went to a DOS (?) screen asking how it should
boot. ( Safe, to Dos prompt, etc) I have chosen all of the options individually to no avail.
In Start normally or last best start it appears to start normaly proceeding to the log-in screen then it flashes a "blue" screen which I cannot read and reboots.
In command prompt choice it lists a number of files on the screen,stops then reboots.
Ran a Western Digital program that shows disk O.K(000)
Ran Windows "repair" (chkdsk /r ans/p) from original XP it repaired a "couple" of errors, second chkdsk reports O.K.
Ran memtest it says my memory O.K. Swapped memory modules no change.
I have booted the machine with the XP cd and let it run at a Crompt for a couple of hours. (As I sat sobbing.) So I don't think I have a hardware problem. The power supply is a year old Antec.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi welcome to PCHF I guess the next thing to try would be a repair install of your windows Perform a Repair Installation to see if it will get the PC to atleast boot
