hi,

i'm not very good when it comes to computer but I suggest you to click on this link SUPPORTrix - Full Spectrum Support for Home Networking, Laptops, Desktops, Printers, Software and more.

cause they might help you solve your problem.

let me know if there's still problem.

All the best,

Turning on a computer and starting the operating system poses an interesting dilemma. By definition, the computer does not know how to do anything until the operating system is started. This includes running programs from the disk. So if the computer can not run a program from the disk without the operating system, and the operating system programs are on the disk, how is the operating system started?

This problem parallels one in the book The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. A character had fallen part way down a manhole, and pulled himself out by grabbing his bootstraps, and lifting. In the early days of computing the term bootstrap was applied to the mechanism used to load the operating system, which has become shortened to “booting”.

On x86 hardware the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is responsible for loading the operating system. To do this, the BIOS looks on the hard disk for the Master Boot Record (MBR), which must be located on a specific place on the disk. The BIOS has enough knowledge to load and run the MBR, and assumes that the MBR can then carry out the rest of the tasks involved in loading the operating system, possibly with the help of the BIOS.

The code within the MBR is usually referred to as a boot manager, especially when it interacts with the user. In this case the boot manager usually has more code in the first track of the disk or within some OS's file system. (A boot manager is sometimes also called a boot loader, but FreeBSD uses that term for a later stage of booting.) Popular boot managers include boot0 (a.k.a. Boot Easy, the standard FreeBSD boot manager), Grub, GAG, and LILO. (Only boot0 fits within the MBR.)

When using F8 to select safe mode, we should select the LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION first.

This will load the last working hardware profile. A very good option for Blue screen error.

Of course, if this does not work, there could be other hardware and/or software issues for us to look at.

Hope this helps!
