Windows not booting properly

Hello,

My computer is using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, and as of now it's
really hard to turn on my computer.

It began yesterday, I turned my computer on and it would crash in the middle
of loading up Vista. It usually freezes at the part where you are told how
much ram your computer has but has also frozen in various other parts while
loading and is irritating me since most of the times it never boots properly.
I often get into a black screen asking me if I want to enter safe mode or go
to Windows normally. Sometimes, after turning it on and off in an attempt of
trial and error, I can somehow manage to get it to work as it did now as I'm
typing the message.

Nonetheless, The only thing I can give you guys about this is:

1. I got an error once on a black screen that specified me that the
/windows/system32/ntkrnlpa.exe "kernel is missing".

2. Another time I got in a blue screen with lots of information in it but
what seemed to be the highlight of everything was the file "ntfs.sys".

3. Sometimes, when I turn on my computer, it freezes and makes a never
ending beep.

Anyone know how can I fix this or do I need to send my computer to
maintenance?

Recommend:
Take off covers and reseat memory chips, adapter boards, and all drive
cables, try again

What you describe (assuming you didn't actually DO anything to cause it,
LOL...) sounds like bad memory, bad hard drive or improperly seated cables.

Hi John,

Did you add new Ram recently?
If not try what Frank suggested and reset it.

Is your computer system ready for Vista?
