Ok i'm getting sick of this, today my computer once again decided it was not going to work. i'd left it on overnight as i do everynight, came to it this morning and it was asking me to insert a correct boot device.
restarted the computer and selected xp to boot and got a blue screen. restarted again and then it refused to detect any of my 4 internal drives on the bios and asked my to insert correct boot media.
unplugged at mains, left for 5 mins plugged back in and it booted vista no problems. restarted the computer, it froze on the mb splash screen and did nothing for 3 attempts, 4th time i managed to boot xp in safe mode fine as normal.
reset computer again and got the same blue screen as i clicked which account to login to on xp (got that far this time!)
another few restarts of no devices detected, i then unplugged everything in the back, plugged in the essentials and its let me on xp now in normal mode. I got 2 red cross errors when it finished booting, one about C++ something and one about runtime fatal error and this is where i am now. norton has disabled itself and i can't open the window to see why. other than that its working as normal...
any ideas??!??!??
EDIT:
ok it just crashed again with another blue screen. a couple more failed resets again as before and now it booted up fine with no errors! :'( why can't it just work properly!
