  • if the safe mode starts it might be as simple as shutting it down and turning it back on again

    it might be enough to help it out.

    It may be that your computer needs cleaning
    your CPU (central processing unit )
    your CPU is the fan that keeps your computer cool

    all you need to do
    is take the side off your computer and get
    your Hoover and clean the inside of your computer
    as it will more than likely be full of fluff
    the CPU, just pull the fluff off that too
    and blow on it

    If it happens again, just us know and we can advise further. Though if you are comfortable with cleaning as described above, u can have a butcher at it

  • On a more serious note myold it may be a heat problem, let the PC cooldown before trying again, and also If the PC has two VGA sockets on the back try the one at the top, which should not be the graphics card one (if of course there is one)

    It's a Nero problem look search for NMBgMonitor on google, and choose your most favoured option, or goto startr run and select msconfig then startup and disable NMBgMonitor (using msconfig
    is OK but there is an option to stop it asking you at the next startup if you want to disable , and I have not got my XP machine available on my Phone so searching is difficult :o
