Hello, Recently my computer has stopped working, I tried to start it on Sunday night and it just froze when I logged into Windows. CTRL-ALT-DEL won't work and none of the keyboard lights work either. When I've logged into windows it acts normally, but then around 30 seconds later when the programs etc are booting up it just freezes and nothing works. I've since opened the case and cleaned out the inside, and checked both fans are working. I've also logged in using safe mode and ran a virus check twice, as well as adware. I've also tried to do a system restore but the computer continues to freeze. I've looked in the event viewer in safe mode and apparently the bootup or startup drivers are failing to load correctly - EVENT ID 7026. They seem to be some of the BIOS settings and various program drivers which for some reason have stopped loading on startup. Please can anyone help me cure this problem? Its driving me mad.

Search the Microsoft site using: Event ID 7026 , or the web e.g. Event ID 7026 — Basic Service Control Manager Operations http://technet2.microsoft.com/windo... If you have just installed a device that wasn't installed previously, remove it. "...none of the keyboard lights work either" Make sure the keyboard is plugged in properly BEFORE you boot. It probably won't work to correct that after you have booted - your will probably have to reboot as well. NEVER unplug or plug in a PS/2 keyboard while the computer is running - you can damage the keyboard circuits in the keyboard and/or on the mboard if you do that. It is common for corded keyboards to develop broken wires inside the cord, usually right where it enters the keyboard, after the keyboard has been used a lot, or at any time if the cord has been yanked on. Try another keyboard. If the PS is not working properly, the keyboard leds may not light up, and you can have all sorts of other problems. Failing power supplies are common and can cause your symptoms. Check your PS. See response 4 in this: http://www.computing.net/hardware/w... Check your hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostics.

If you don't have a floppy drive, you can get a CD image diagnostic utility from most hard drive manufacturer's web sites, but obviously you would need to make a burned CD, preferably a CD-R for best compatibilty, on another computer if you need to.
