I cleared the CMOS but the computer still locks up. If I disable all start up options and win.ini etc and dont load anything at all the computer will start and run for about 2 mintues before locking up.
Once again in the device manager there is more than one instance of the generic hdd type 47 where one is shown as C drive and the other is shown without a drive letter. I delete them but then on re-boot they are back there again.
I deleted the enum key but the computer still locked up as it was attempting to re-install all of the devices. I dont think the lock up has to do with loading any particular device as it seems to happen at random times. I really dont know what to do next.
Should I just do a re-install over the top of windows? I dont want to lose any data.
