September 27[edit]

Multiple issues on my desktop PC[edit]

  • I am running my desktop PC on windows 7(recently installed after hard disk change since previous was damaged) and every-time I boot the computer, after the windows 7 logo comes a black screen shows up with monitor still connected to CPU. So every-time I have to shut down the PC by pressing power button and on next boot when I select the 'system repair' option and when the repair menu loads, I cancel the thing without even running the repair and the system restarts and viola! all things goes back to normal. This is how I've compromised till now. Please help me with this issue.
  • Another issue is with mouse. Every-time I boot my system the mouse has to be unplugged and plugged to make it work again else the pointer shows but the pointer won't move.
  • So my last issue till now is with windows installation. Every-time I try to install Windows 10 by making it bootable or directly by going to the file, it doesn't go further than the windows logo with no spinning dots and it restarts from that point and the same thing happens on loop.

I also believe all the requirements for windows 10 meets on my PC. Here's my specifications:

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz

RAM: 2 GB(Here's another issue with it too, there are two slots for RAM and whenever I put two rams both 2GB then nothing shows up on screen when I boot, and when I insert any one of my RAMs on one slot then only it shows up, I think one slot is damaged. But if you know the issue please help.)

OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit

Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 210 1233 MB — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahil shrestha (talkcontribs) 08:25, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The issue with the mouse might be a problem with its driver, but I don't know. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Sahil shrestha: It might be a good idea to copy your data off of it, wipe the hdd, and do a fresh Windows install. You might also want to use your BIOS to run some diagnostics on your computer.
