The Wanderer
in paths untrodden
Greetings!
For the 1st time in my life, I have encountered the Blue Screen of Death...
I am told that the computer cannot load because of an :
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.
Does anyone know what the hell this crap is all about???
What happened is this :
I began the installation of Jericho's demo and then, BAM!
Nothing.
What I think happened is this :
My computer was already problems.
It mainly consisted of a memory leak. I think.
I say this because of this :
On and off, the bugger would start to lag. Really lag.
I would press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
The screen would tell me that the mem usage is at 100 %.
I think that this is caused because of an incompatible 512 RAM upgrade (Kingston and don't know the other stats...).
To fix this, I only found one option : Reboot.
So, i was installing Jericho's demo from gamespot, i don't even like FPS'S..., the yellow light was going so fast that it didn't blink anymore but nothing was going on on the screen.
Even though i clicked install twice, nothing was going on on the screen.
So, i think that my computer was having a retard moment and i was asking too much for him to handle.
So, beeing the very patient man that i am, i told myself that i didn't have all of my life to spend waiting for a stupid computer to install a 1 g game.
Without hesitation, i did what i always do when my pc is goin' dumbass on me :
I pressed the power button.
I never had any problems before.
It talks about not loading windows to prevent damaging the cpu.
Talking about safe mode and F8.
Don't understand zip about anything it says.
Even talks about the BIOS. NOT touching that.
It has been a week already. Been playin my PS2...
I have a cousin that works in computers.
He's coming to fix it tonight...
We're formatting. Hope it will work.
Does anyone know what could've done this and if formatting will help or will it be dangerous for the Hard Drive?
Thanks.
