Solve : Win XP not Booting Up? |
|
Answer» HI, Since yesterday I have been facing issues with my desktop of not booting up. It remains stuck at Windows XP boot up screen. The day before I had shut down the PC normally. What I have tried; 1) Have tried booting up in the Safe Mode & Last Known Good Configuration as well but no luck. On selecting Safe Mode, it loads some of the files up till WINDOWS/System32/Drivers/aswRvrt.sys & then again shows up the same message again giving options of Safe Mode/ Last Known Good Configuration & Start Windows Normally. 2) Removed both the RAM modules one by one & boot up, but STILL the same error. Pls assist resolving the issue. Desktop Confirguration: OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 635 MB: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H RAM: 2 x 2GB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz HDD: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TBDo you have your XP CD ? ?Yes, I have. Have googled around & Avast AV seems to be cause of aswRvrt.sys GETTING stuck at boot up.Uninstall Avast and see what happens... XP Repair Install... I suggest reading it thru and printing out a reference copy before starting... Done properly all your data and apps will be intact...1 mistake and all will be gone ...but you'll have a FRESH XP install.Booted with XP CD & used FIXBOOT from Recovery Console and was able to boot back. Uninstalled Avast on startup. Tried a reboot & the PC rebooted. Now which AV should I install? AVG or re-install Avast?Re-install Avast... Also add MalwareBytes and SuperAnti-Spyware to your arsenal. Only run 1 scan at a time... |
