I just did format of my computer yesterday, Today I was just removing unneeded programs as normal, as I've always done through MSCONFIG (Programs, Services and A few boot up items). Restarted - Fine. I then went back into it and enabled my 2nd processor in the boot > advanced menu as I've also always done. But then when I restarted my computer wouldn't boot back up.
It get's stuck with an _ showing. It does not load after waiting. Theres nothing in bios except the logs which show error 601 (Might be 6001) for both attempts at booting. I tried to open the recovery console, but it would not. It seems after functions are fine (Could this be a graphics related issue).
I have an AMD processor and ATI Radeon Graphics Card.
I do not have any original OS install discs (as they don't seem to come with computers anymore) as I use a Recovery Disc to boot back up.
Recent actions include:
Removing unneeded software
Removing Associated Startup Items
Removing Associated Services
Enabling 2nd Processor
Installed Vista Service Pack 2
Installed Vista Platform Update
Also on another note: My Laptop was getting unusually hotter. It was already too hot before. But now it was just burning like fire.
