This is on my buddy's computer; an Intel E4200 (IIRC), with a GB MoBo.
I JUST did a fresh install on his computer because he loaded it down with viruses from pRon sites, and then got ticked and kicked it because it wouldn't load windows... -He's an idiot...
Anyway... I did a fresh install, now abotu two weeks later, he said it started acting up again and it isn't loading windows.. There's an error after the POST saying " *****.dll file missing."
I JUST thought of this... he asks me to do stuff, and then complains about my work a week later... But knowing him, he was probably -TRYING- to delete what ever I put there, and he probably deleted one of the System 32 files or one of the dll files. I'd betcha that's what happened... He really ticks me off.... :freak: He put the system together, but doesn't know ANYTHING about what goes on in there.. When I wiped his system last, I found his board driver CD still in the SEALED envelope. The only drivers he seemed to have installed was the one for his printer.. I told him, you're lucky it ran for as long as it did, like that... (2.5 years)
But anyway... Why all of a sudden is this system not loading windows?? It's just a run of the mill, typical PC with nothing really special and it's not overclocks, on a stock cooler.
