elaborate some more for us, what are the exact words when it says about the service not being started. Once you know that, google it, and if no luck, just tell us what it is and we can find out for ya

Have you cleaned your components of dust etc lately? Dust can lead to overheating which can cause lockups and freezes.

I just got the computer last week, all it says is service has not been started

ok then TBH we could trouble shoot this for u but if it was shop built id save trouble and return it for replacement

 

[worshipme]

OK, what is the PSU rated at? And how many amps on the 12V rail(s). You can get this informantion by looking at the spec sticker on the side of the power supply.

Take it back to the vendor for a warranty repair.

didn't get warrenty becuase all my past computers worked and i took the floppy drive from my old computer this was a custom build

i get a blue screen at start some times the error codes are different

OK, so you'll still have manufacturers 1 year warranty at least yes? all we need to do is find the faulty component.

We'll need full descriptions of the blue screen error codes to make diagnosing easier.
