I have a presario S3100AN desktop that has been running good with windows XP for some time, but a few days ago something happened and now the computer will not start again. I may have accidently deleted something from the registry, I don't know.
Now when I try to start it, I get this error message and the computer shuts down again. I have connected another hard drive to the machine and tried to recover using the CD's that were made when new but I get the same result before it finished the first disk. That shows it is not the hard disk that is at fault. It may be the bios but I do not know where to go in the bios to find the problem or even if I can fix it from there. I removed the bios battery but that did not help, how do I fix the bios if that is the problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you,
Allan
