    data recovery is possible.... the more you had to the computer after a restore or format hinders the recovery of data.



    are you using a legal copy of xp ?

Computer turns on but will not load windows. Freezes after gateway comes on. Plus cannot start in safemode

Enter the BIOS and ensure that the Hard drive is indeed being seen by the computer.

Open up the chassis side panel and ensure that all conections are making contact.

My pc keeps either freezing or crashing altogether,this only seems to happen when i am surfing facebook ,or pictures on the web,I can watch youtube,or movies with no crashes at all,I've scanned for viruses...

Im guessing XP and if you have the CD do whats called a repair install. Choose the upgrade option then install it, this will not harm any of your programs at all you will just have to do all the windows updates when its finished. Cheers and please vote

Dell Vostro 1500 won't boot after downloading updates

What programs are installed on the machine? there may be a file that's conflicting with one of the updates. You may leave automatic updates turned off. Looking for the culprit will require and will be easier if a tech will check the computer onsite or thru remote access.

My machine is just rebooting time without number. after i deleted some files from the temp folder. can you help get the windows xp3 to update it. thanks bright.

The file deletion may not be the issue. You may have some sort of virus or spyware interfering with the system boot. You may have driver or setting that is not fully resolved from an update. My initial suggestion for a solution would be to restart in Safe Mode, wait for the computer to fully load all of the basic drivers there, then just restart in normal mode and see if that fixes it. The next suggestion is to restart in Safe Mode with the Administrator account and load an earlier System Restore point. After that, it gets complicated.
