reboot-->hang but boot-->ok ??
Posted by punger on November 9th, 2003


WiXP / Sp1a Dell Laptop system.
I cann access Wi XP but only by booting not by r e
booting, what programs demand after installation.
The rebooting stops before setup (F2) or even the one-time
boot option (F12) works. Freezes. Stops. Than only
hardreset (swith off) helps with subsequent booting.
Who can help?

The point where the reboot is hanging is the POST. This relates to the
system itself, not the operating system. The only difference between a
boot and a reboot is there may be some lingering data stored in RAM. That
difference should not cause a boot failure.

Try going into BIOS settings. Don't change anything but do a "Save Changes
on Exit." If the problem continues, contact technical support for your
system.
