PC won't reboot after a power outage
Posted by Patti on March 6th, 2008


After a brief power outage, I tried to reboot my PC and it looks like it is
going to start up, but it comes to the screen that you have to choose either
safe mode, safe mode with network, safe mode with command prompt, or normal,
or last known configuration. I have tried every option above and the screen
will come up in DOS and list a lot of files then clicks off and reboots back
up to the first screen where you have to choose the options above. It won't
let me get any further.

I have that very same problem, which happened last night. Mine wasn't after
a power outage, however, I was simply rebooting. I hope we get some answers
for this problem.
