My PC is not starting properly, I tried to reinstall OS. I tried windows xp, it took 7 hours to copy the files and still continuing so I stopped it. Tried installing Ubuntu, it shows that PCI header type 40 ignoring device error. Please help me

kindly get the Memory stick checked

I would start by deleting partitions and doing a full format. Then loading an OS. Check MS minimum system requirements for OS and double them.

If it crashes again. Start checking RAM.

1. boot your PC or laptop from the Windows XP CD (To do this, insert the Windows XP CD into your CD drive or DVD drive, and then restart your computer).
2. You will see "Press any key to boot from CD" displayed on the screen, at this point press any key to start the computer from the Windows XP CD.
3. You will see the Welcome to Setup screen, press ENTER to start Windows XP Setup.
4. Read and agree to the Microsoft Software License Terms, and then press F8.
5. Follow the instructions to select and format the c: partition where you want to reinstall Windows XP.
6. Follow the remander of the instructions on the screen to complete Windows XP Setup
7. Reinstall any drivers which are required.
8. Reinstall any software programs which you need.
9. copy your data back to the drive.

Hi, you need to re-install the operating system (OS). If you need the back up, copy the files in your Desktop & My Documents (because these items are in C drive) to another drive. After that insert windows 7 CD in your drive & restart the machine. Press F12, it'll shows the boot order. Select CD drive. OR change the boot order in BIOS. After restarting It'll shows PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD. press any key & continue your job.

Warning : Pls make sure that you are installing the OS in to the 'C' drive, otherwise you will lost your back up.

If you are using Windows XP, here's what you can do to fix the problem:

1) Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
2) When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
3) Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
4) Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
5) You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
6) Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is "e." This letter may be different on your computer.

copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\

7) Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.

If you have tried each of the above recommendations that apply to your situation and you continue to experience this issue it is possible you may have a seriously corrupted version of Microsoft Windows. Therefore we would recommend you reinstall Windows XP.

The computer will continue to reinstall windows. It will say restarting installation, simply continue. If it stops again make sure you are using a good copy of OS CD and not a pirated one. Do a full format before attempting to install one.
