Frankly, it sounds like a problem with the BIOS or with your hardware (possibly the power supply or the adapter or the battery - or it could be some other hardware device). Unfortunately, under the circumstances (or even in general), it is difficult to check those things. Let's first check to see if it is a software problem or minor hardware problem that we can resolve.

Boot into BIOS and verify that all of the settings are correct and appropriate (and that it is working) - but, unless you REALLY know what you are doing and understand what you are planning to change, then change nothing as at this point it's better to do nothing than cause any further problems by making the wrong changes. While there, do however change the boot sequence as indicated below to make the CD-Drive first.

If you can't boot into BIOS, can't boot to the CD/DVD disk, and can't boot into any safe mode option (some of these are explained further below), then skip to the last paragraph and answer the important questions there and explain what happened when you tried each of the just mentioned options in your next post. That's just in case nothing here works - otherwise follow the instructions as best you can.

Do you know when this problem began? Try a System Restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem began. Here's the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html. Be sure to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will have to re-install any software and updates you installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for the updates. Use the recovery disk if the system prompt doesn’t work. The recovery disk works a bit different from the above procedures but if you follow the prompts from the System Restore menu option with the above information you should be able to restore with no problems.

If the System Restore doesn't work, do a Startup Repair by booting to the genuine Windows Vista Installation Disk (or one you can borrow from ANYONE) or from a Recovery Disk with recovery options included on it. Here's the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91467-startup-repair.html. To boot to the CD you may need to change the BIOS to make the CD-drive first in the boot sequence. To do that, wait for the screen that tells you the F key to push to access the boot menu or boot setup. Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work, and exit. Put the CD in the drive and reboot. When prompted, push any key to boot from the CD.

If you don't have either disk, you can make a bootable Recovery Disk using
http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ along with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps made on a different computer or perhaps in safe mode with networking if that is working).

If that doesn't work, try to boot into safe mode (repeatedly click the F8 key while booting and go to safe mode with networking – or do so from the command prompt on the disk). Then let's check some of your system files:

Go to Start / All Programs / Accessories / Command prompt and right click on command prompt and click run as Administrator (you can skip this step if using the disk).

If using the disk, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc /scannow and enter and let it run. It will scan and try to fix some of your system files. Hopefully it will complete with no corruption it could not repair (if there is such corruption post back here or try to analyze it to find the problem file(s) using
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228. Try to attach the report (you may need to copy it to a flash drive before it will permit you to attach it) here so we can see if they can be repaired with good copies from the installation disk (unless there are too many).

While in Command Prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. It will want to schedule itself to run at the next restart. Answer yes and then reboot to run the program. It will scan and try to fix any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and mostly remove that as a potential cause.

I hope this helps at least identify the problem even if it doesn't resolve it. If not, can you boot into Safe Mode by clicking repeatedly on F8 during bootup until the menu appears and then selecting Safe Mode with Networking? If so, we will try some other options including some that address hardware issues. If not, proceed on and answer the following in your next post. This is VERY IMPORTANT! What is the manufacturer, make and precise model of your computer? What version of Vista are you using (e.g., 32-bit Vista Business SP2)?

Good luck!

Not really too much more that can be said, Lorien has covered most bases. Just one caveat, dont try too much with the BIOS, unless you are proficient in that area. Many have cause problems for themselves working in areas that are best left to the professionals.

Hi,

Try what is says in the un-install (from FAQ link above): -

10. Deep Freeze is installed on my computer. I would like to uninstall it. How is this done? Disable Deep Freeze before uninstalling it.
To disable Deep Freeze:

  1. Hold down the shift key and double-click the Deep Freeze icon. Alternatively, you can press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F6.
  2. Enter your password and click OK.
  3. If you have not yet entered a password you should be able to click OK without entering a password.
  4. The Boot Options dialog is displayed. Select "Boot Thawed" and click OK. This will disable Deep Freeze on the next reboot.
  5. Reboot your computer. After the computer reboots, you are ready to uninstall Deep Freeze.
To uninstall:
  1. Locate the installation file you used to install Deep Freeze on your computer. By default, the name of this file is called "DF5Std.exe" for versions 5.X and "DF6Std.exe" for versions 6.X.
  2. Run the installation file (DF5Std.exe or DF6Std.exe).
  3. Select the option to "Uninstall"
Deep Freeze is uninstalled and your computer is rebooted.

I must admit I am quite confused about what is happening here. First, it seems like you can't boot so we provide instructions about that (which you never reply to or say how they worked or answer any of the questions).

Then we're talking about a program you can't install and no longer discussing the boot issue. Is the boot issue gone or is it still there but you can access the computer? Is this a different computer? What does this program have to do with the initial boot problem or has that first problem been solved and we're now on to something else? What version of Deep Freeze are you using and is it installed on the computer itself or through a server? Why do you have Deep Freeze installed if it is your personal computer as this is typically only used in public environments where system administrators want to keep the individual computers from becoming different from each other and to stop them from being loaded up with files from multiple users? Did you install it yourself or was it installed by someone else? I would find this program incredibly annoying and cannot imagine ever intentionally installing it (except in a group environment I was trying to administer) but never in a million years on my own personal computer. I can understand why you'd want to remove it if it's installed, and I wonder if the problem you're having has to do with permissions (especially if it's not your own personal home computer but one existing in a group environment where you may be restricted by limitations in group policy and/or active directory by the server or on the computer itself by the administrator). And it may be possible to deactivate the program rather than uninstall it and accomplish essentially the same result (also included in the FAQ Lottie provided above) depending on the version and how it is installed and how it is controlled (which I've requested you provide).

Now you're talking about reformatting (which I don't yet see at all as necessary since I'm not sure I understand what is actually happening here). Reformatting is normally not a matter of expense unless you have none of the software or a means to re-install the operating system or something like that - but again I'm not sure you should even be considering it right now - it's pretty much a last resort choice and we haven't even scratched the surface on solving the problems (whatever they are at this point) by much less drastic measures. And I don't really know what you mean by a "brownout." And this gets us back to what is really happening here. Are you still having boot problems or is it simply a matter of uninstalling this one program?

Please try to explain the current situation, the current problems, and what you need help with so that we can give you the correct advice. Make it a long post (even if it takes some time and just do the best you can with the English - msybe as long as this one or even longer) with all the details and explanations and anything you can provide that you think might help so we can understand the problem or problems. At this point, I'm very much confused about the situation and do not feel safe making any recommendations until things are a great deal more clear. This is VERY IMPORTANT! What is the manufacturer, make and precise model of your computer? What version of Vista are you using (e.g., 32-bit Vista Business SP2)? Is this your personal home computer or is it a computer in a group environment and, if the latter, is it hooked up to a network server with a systems administrator?

Thanks and good luck!
