Re: Off for a wee while
Thanks Lads
Only way I could get it to work was to keep Starting and shutting down manually until I got the Option to Re Install Window 10
So took that option ,and although it took forever (well seemed so) it eventually got done and after a new Reboot all went to plan! Thank the Lord for small mercies!

Re: Off for a wee while
I bet it was after the windows 10 update, I have had exactly the same problems. At one stage the puter was going in the bin.

It certainly was ,after finishing my days work i did my normal thing Shut Down,it then as before at times said Installing Updates Dont turn off your Cpmputer!
As said this has been done so many times before and i have never had this happen
So as you say after the normal process ot Shut down,
Well that was that ,on trying to Re Start all hell broke loose and i could not get a damn thing to work,no Screen (Blank)
So i tried all sorts of things like hitting F12 which took me into Setup,did all rests to what they were before,rebooted and still Zilch!
Tried t get into safe Mode,no way Hosay!
So i just kept on Starting and sutting down manually (Holding the Power Button Down) it then autamatically Restrats but of course nothing again and again,
On abot the tenth time of doing this wallah! I get a Screen (Well Blue Box) asking what i want to do with several options!
I choose Re Install Windows,that was the Luck! It did whatever it did,took blerry ages but eventually it got ther,
Now working but a lot slower at Bootup?? But leave well enoug alone for now ! LOL
