I have a toshiba satelite 1805. It has been working fine for the last three
years. I haven't downloaded or installed and new programs or updates in the
last 4-5 month, Mcafee up to date. Today when I started it, it took almost 5
minutes to boot up and then ran very very slow. Like 2-3 minutes to open
Explorer and did not connect to the internet. When I tried to reboot it just
continued to start up part way then shut down and reboot. Finally it came up
with the blue screen and a fatal system error c000021a and F0X0000402. It
would start part way and then shut off. So....I used the system recovery
disks and reloaded the whole system to factory specs. It still starts
partway and then shuts down.
Oh, BTW, I tried booting in the safe mode, no dice, before or after the
reinstall.
So any ideas? Failed harddrive? Virus? Or trash the Toshiba?
I hope someone has an idea what to do, I can't afford to replace this.
Thanks,
Bob
