My niece's computer wouldn't turn on at all. I installed new power supply and it started right up. it booted to where I had the task bar with the start button, but none of the icons on the desktop loaded.
I did Ctrl/Alt/Del to reboot and it went to the screen telling me it was going to go into Safe Mode. I clicked okay and it appeared that it was going to boot into it...but instead, the Scandisk popped up. It sat a couple minutes, then popped up an error message saying that Scandisk could not read Fat on drive C and that scandisk could not fix. I clicked OK and it appeared to be booting (the windows screen was there)...then suddenly I got the message
"While initializing Device VKD - Windows protection Error - You need to restart your computer"
then up popped the message that it was safe to turn off the computer.
I turned it off, back on to boot again. Once again, same problem... I can't get into safe mode.
I hooked up brand new keyboard to the computer...same problem.
Am I going to have to reformat and reinstall all the programs, or is there something I can do to clear up the problem without having to do that? HELP!!! It will not boot...
thanks
