| 615960 | 2007-11-29 21:37:00 | Well the other reason it maybe hanging is its overheating. Go into the BIOS, and see if its shows the temperature of this system. Tell us what the temperature is. |

| 615961 | 2007-11-29 21:41:00 | hi Peoples - I see its still fun and games - just poped back for a sec - Speedy I'll PM you with a possible remote solution - works good ( most of the time) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 615962 | 2007-11-29 21:44:00 | lol ok WT coz I cant login to his remotely. Would I (or would Mech), have to add remote desktop to the router?? Coz its not in there at the mo. I dont know if he's got a router, or not. I've done RD before, (and it worked), but I wasnt on broadband. then |

| 615963 | 2007-11-29 21:48:00 | how do I check the BIOS temp. I thought while booting if I hit Del or something it would prompt but it is not even prompting or waiting for anything. Heating won't affect safe mode is it? | mechadios (13071) | ||
| 615964 | 2007-11-29 21:50:00 | Don't think can do remote desktop as it can last for long. yeh it's getting funny, okay guys am off it's 4:00 AM here. will respond tomorrow only. Thanks for your help so far. | mechadios (13071) | ||

Heating won't affect safe mode is it? Well it can. Whether its in safe mode or normal mode. Its part of the system not a file or anything. Go thru the screens in the BIOS. The menu may say something like H/W monitor, or something. Will this computer still be on after u go to bed?? |

| 615966 | 2007-11-30 05:15:00 | Couldn't go to BIOS setup, don't know which key to hit when it is booting. Also, was going through lot of link on web which say for a Dell PC it's not possible to hack the BIOS setup and am on Dell Inspiron. But as you say heating would affect the safe mode also, am on in safe mode for like long time, should heating be an issue then. If I leave it on would you be able to access it? As I can leave it on only in safe mode in normal mode anyway it would hang. |

| 615967 | 2007-11-30 05:44:00 | I think F2 on startup brings you into the Dell BIOS - not 100% sure. If you can get into the BIOS look for "health" or something like that, someplace will be the current Temp. Speedy connected remotely to one of my workshop PC's trying a program I sent a private link to earlier today. (and the cheeky bugger :p said the all programs had more junk - HA!) :lol: Never tried it in safemode with networking - I know the Internet will work in that mode so hopefully the remote program will also. Update: after getting a PM - try restarting the PC in safe mode with networking - see if it crashes again, its looking like a driver issue, I'm not really feeling like wading through 10 pages of this to see if the LAN driver has been uninstalled then reinstalled - if it crashes on safe mode with networking - uninstall the LAN/network card driver reboot then reinstall it - see what happens |

| 615968 | 2007-11-30 06:08:00 | wainuitech, No it didn't crash even a single time since I started this thread in safe mode with networking. Every time it hangs is in the normal mode never in safe mode. I tried to go into BIOS setup by F2 but couldn't find anything related to temp/health management. All it says is my primary battery is not installed so I should go to dell.com to order new :). Battery is gone so that advise. Am downloading the link which speedy sent, I hope it works in safe mode with Net. LoL I graduated working on this thread only. When I started it said Junior member, now it is saying Member. Hope it does not go beyond that on this thread only :) |

| 615969 | 2007-11-30 06:24:00 | I dont think it'll work in safe mode, it HAS to be in normal mode. If u want me to connect to it remotely. I would say you''ll have to reinstall the network drivers. First we have to find out what your motherboard is Tell me when you've installed crossloop and send the code its got to me in a PM. |
