Takes a very long time to boot

I turned on my presario 2500 and it booted normally. But it takes a long time before it responds to mouse click. So I restarted it. After restarting, it won't boot xp anymore. i tried reading the error message but the flash is too quick for me to read. it kept restarting. so i reformatted. it also took a long time for me to reformat cause the pc responded too slow. now, without anythng in it but the o.s., it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to start up. what should i do?

I have a Presario SR1950NX that is not booting. After turning on power, the fans come on and the DVD drive flickers, then nothing else happens. The keyboard and maonitor stay dormant. Normally, a loud fan...

It may be the clogged fan that caused this problem then resulted to overheat. possibly you need to replace the motherboard. or first, try using a bootable cd to boot your pc up. it may also be an issue with your hard drive not booting up.

PXE-E61

Your disk-drive has failed.
So, your computer tried to boot itself over the Ethernet network,
by "broadcasting" a request for booting. When either the network-cable was _NOT_ connected, or when _NO_ computer responded to the "broadcast" message, you get "PXE: media failure".

Take your computer to a qualified technician,
to remove the "dead" disk-drive,
to replace the disk-drive,
and to reinstall Windows.
