First, i hope i'm in the correct area. I have an HP a324x desktop. The
computer would keep shutting down and restarting during use. I tried changing
the power supply. Did not work. I figured i would try the recovery option on
HP. In doing so, i received messages that it could not extract some files.
dll files. Partially thru the computer shut down and restarted. Now the
computer will not start. I then tried the recovery discs. I chose the proper
boot and inserted disc 1. after several minutes of just a blinking line on a
black screen i get a message saying " windows could not start because of the
following file is missing or corrupt... windows root system 32\hal.dll.
Does anyone have an idea what I should try from here? Perhaps a new hard
drive? And if i were to get a new drive would i be able to load it using the
recovery discs?
Might they be bad?
Thank you in advance for any imput.
