Restarts
Hello. So today I encountered a problem while rebooting my system. When I restart my computer it gets to the dell boot up screen with the boot up options it loads halfway then stops! By the way I'm using windows vista. It never loads so I force shut down and leave for a minute. I come back boot it up same thing! My motherboard is fine because I hear the POST so I'm wondering if it's my os I just need help thank you bye.

Hi
Hi
I would suggest you to remove the battery & disconnect the AC Adapter from the system and hold the power button down for 20 seconds, to discharge “Static Flea Power”, after that connect AC Adaptor and battery and restart your machine.
Also, I would suggest you to boot your system in Safe Mode with Networking. Please switch on the computer and start tapping the F8 key which would take you to Advanced Boot Option screen. Using the up and down arrow key, select “Safe Mode with Networking” to boot the computer into Safe Mode. If it’s working fine in safe mode you can try System Restore and take the system to a prior date when it was working fine. To perform System Restore click on the link below:
If issue still persists please try to run Dell diagnostics, to run Dell diagnostics turn on the system, press <F12> at the initial Dell logo screen, and select Diagnostics from the boot menu.
Please reply if you have any further questions
Thanks & Regards
