| 1126835 | 2010-08-11 22:31:00 | So basically, i turned off my computer in order to install a new gfx card. Upon installation, i noticed that i turned my computer off during a windows update, so that has corrupted the system file classpnp.sys. I have figured out how to resolve this issue, but i am unable to because whenever i try and boot anything, from Ubuntu to the windows repair tool to the Windows 7 CD i have. It will display BIOS and the POST screen, even the menu when you press F8. I cannot boot in safe mode due to classpnp.sys being corrupt, and whenever i choose start windows normally the OS gets stuck at the "Starting windows" splash. I am quite stumped as to why this is happening, i have tried taking out my gfx card (nVidia 8600GT pci-e) and switching back to onboard graphics. I have also played around with BIOS settings but no avail. Hopefully you can shed some light on this, thanks, Sam. |

| 1126837 | 2010-08-11 23:07:00 | So, you can't even boot off a CD? I can boot, but whenever it gets past, for example, the screen on the windows repair tool that says "loading files", the monitor just goes blank. I also cannot start ubuntu from another HDD, but i can from my old PC. I know it boots, but i cant see anything after the initialization of the CD image has gone by. If it helps, i can try to make a video on this matter. |

| 1126839 | 2010-08-11 23:14:00 | Sounds like you haven't set in the bios to boot from the cd first. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1126840 | 2010-08-11 23:29:00 | Sounds like you haven't set in the bios to boot from the cd first. I have, i have also used the boot menu. Like i said, i CAN boot from a CD but i cant see anything once the CD has been initialized. Take for example, i boot a CD with GRUB and ubuntu, it would load GRUB and i would enter the command to start ubuntu. It would say "Ubuntu is starting..." and then hang there. This shows that the CD boots, but fails somewhere along the way of graphical representation on the VDU. So do a repair install off the Windows CD. I said i cannot do that as i cant see anything after the initialization. I have made this short video to demonstrate what happens when i try to run windows normally and when i try to use the repair tool. www.youtube.com |

It works fine on my older PC but not new one, GRUB gets stuck at "Starting Ubuntu". Similar to the windows problem there, although i know what is causing that. |

| 1126843 | 2010-08-11 23:47:00 | Have you tried Memtest on the live CD to see if it is a memory problem? | KarameaDave (15222) | ||

You turned the PC off during an update?...That means you held the power button yes?...sounds like you zapped something! |
