How can I do that, If I can't get into the computer?

 

Thanks

Mike

I tried booting into safe mode and after a minute of looking like it was booting ok it shut down.  The next time I tried I got the following message.

 

Diskette drive 0 seek failure   Alert! Previous shutdowndue to thermal event

F1 to continue    F2 setup utility

 

If I use F1 then I get back to the C000021A message.

 

Again thanks for any help you can give.    It appears that XP home is what is loaded on the machine.   I am not concerned about the data, so if I need to wipe the drive and do a fresh install I would be fine with that.   I'm just not sure where to start to do that.  

 

I booted up with the XP disk in the drive but it didnt read the cd instrat of the harddrive.

 

Thanks for your help

Google tells me this error means you are running .NET programs without having it installed. You can download it from Windows update or, using msconfig, disable it in the startup list

Try and boot to BIOS ( Setup ) and see if you can get temps . . look in PC Health if it has it.

 

Sounds like you may have an overheating issue . .
