Today, I report to you from my dad's business computer, because my friends, tragedy has struck.
Here's a disaster report of what happened earlier today: 1700: Log on to my computer, fire up Internet Explorer, its down (typical stuff, my network goes down alot). So I open up Battlefield Vietnam. Go to Single Player, open up Operation Irving. 1750: Grab a Huey Gunship, fire up Ride of the Valkiries, and we're off. Approach an enemy position, then some stuttery framerate, no matter, it happens occasionally, so I dive in and waste some bots. 1800: Capped the Artillery position and owned a few more bots with an RPG. Fire some rounds from the cannon, try to find a sweet target. 1810: Head down to the bridge to get some knife kills. As I come within 100 yards of the bridge, the FPS slows to a crawl, no more then 15 FPS. 1811: Pull out a LAW, try to fire, and notice the framerate has slowed to LESS THEN 1 FRAME PER SECOND. (Now just so you know, I can usually run BFVietnam on the top settings, with 64 players and all, while mantaining a FPS of at least 50 or 60). 1813. Then, the game completely freezes. I try every option I can think of, anything to solve the problem without forcefully shutting down. alt tab, ctrl alt delete, nothings working. The computer is behaving like time itself has stopped. 1815: finally, I resort to the unthinkable. I open the computer case, take a deep breath, and push and hold the power button, and she shuts down. I take a moment to catch my breath, then I go lay down on my bed and read PC Gamer for a bit. 1820: I get bored. I decide to turn on my computer, see what went wrong, and fire up some more BF Vietnam. 1821: Computer turns on, I put in the password, Alienware and Pentium logo come up, then the windows loading screen. 1822: Disaster. An error screen appears. saying windows FAILED to start. I take a moment to cry and wimper like a puppy who was just thrown on the freeway. I shut off the computer again. enter password, windows loading screen, same error. This happened at least 5 or 6 times. The options were Start Windows, Start Windows in Safe mode, and thats it. I tried both, and they both did nothing. I feel like Ive lost a part of myself. Someone, someone please....please just help me... Last edited by JetRaiden; 2004-07-23 at 10:56 PM. |

SDM is right. Alienwares may be fast, but they are as reliable as a Hollywood marriage.

find you windows CD get in the bio set the CDrom to boot first. Restart and put teh CD in as soon as you can get the tray open, and get it in, then hit a button to make it boot from teh disk, then do a repair instalation.

That happened to me a few months ago, only it was on a Compaq laptop and frankly I was asking for it with circumstances like those.
My message said, "Operating System Not Found". My hard drive shit the bed
Jet, buddy, I feel for you. It's a reallyyyy crappy situation. Thankfully Martyr had a sweet rig to spare (bless his heart), so I've been using this one since. Good luck, we're here for you!
