Given the thousands of possible error messages a computer user may encounter only from the time the power is turned on to when your desktop is up and available, it may seem absurd that we’ve written a set of instructions for “fixing errors.”
However, the fact that you’ve received an error message places you among a select group of computer failure victims. Unlike a nonspecific symptom like a blank screen or no power at all, an error message provides you a specific place to work from.
Fix: Errors Occurring During the Computer Startup Process
