Then shuts down and this is the error report?

Spec Packard bell I xtreme 256 s ram intel Pentium 111 40g hdd



Alright I know it is cr*p but it is a favour.:confused:
 
i new i should have gone with what i thought and not what i found on google, atapi.sys is to do with the IDE drives, reinstall the drivers
 
What happens when you unplug the CDROM drive?
 
Thanks guys will get back with exactly what has happened later today.

watch this space;)
 
Well I learnt a really good lesson today!:mad:

Having originally owned the PC in question, an acquaintance/ friend? Of mine wanted to buy it, original cost £999.00 in Nov 2001,so I sold it to him, as he wanted it for his wife I accepted £100.00.

That was 18Mths ago; she rang me Monday 12/09/2005 as it kept rebooting? I collected it and proceeded to rectify the problem, after some considerable time I eventually found the fault [thanks for all the replies] now I can only assume what happened IT MUST HAVE BEEN DROPPED as the MOBO was cracked the CPU was unseated from its base? I also found a broken disc in the CD drive and the DVD R-W was misaligned by about an inch????

Now I telephoned her and explained the problem, told her it would be £120.00 to repair.

Now this is what she replied! But I have only had the PC for 18Mths and I only banged it to see if that would cure the problem so why are you charging me to repair it!

Need I say more??????

Never sell to family or friends:rolleyes:
