My computer, which is a few years old, has problems when it starts.
When I turn it on, it keeps telling me that it's in Safe Mode, and that I can change the settings in the BIOS. I've looked in the BIOS and I can't tell how to get it out of safe mode.
The other problem, which is much more aggravating, is that after it has done all its system checks, it takes about 5-6 minutes before the operating system (XP) will load. After it loads and takes me to the welcome screen, everything works perfectly fine. However, I want to get it out of safe mode and also figure out why it pauses for so long before XP starts up.
System specs:
Abit AN8-SLI motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
ATi X850XT
Hitachi (I think) 80GB hard drive
Kingston 1 GB RAM
thanks!
