I've never had anything remotely close to this happen before. Here's the
sequence as best I can recall.
-cold boot, black screen w/ cursor showing, moving, etc.--no response to mouse
or kybrd
-warm reboot, Windows screen w/ © but then same black screen w/ cursor
-warm reboot to Safe mode; black screen w/ text around edges, cursor moving
-cold reboot to safe mode w/ networking; © page, blue welcome screen, black
screen
-cold reboot to safe w/ command prompt; ©, blue welcome, Cmd window
-ran chkdsk w/ no errors
-cold reboot again, normal log in came up but also error message that my date,
time were incorrect and needed to be reset
-date was (I think) 1-1-1601, time 12:00 am
-windows started and I reset time
-also got an error message that one of the AVG files had been corrupted, so I
uninstalled and reinstalled, updated, and reset options; ran w/o apparent
problems
-have rebooted many times since and everything seems to be running normally
-apparently no data lost
I may have missed a detail or two, but this is basically what happened.
Any thoughts would be most welcome. This is very unsettling since nothing like
this has happened, I don't understand what/why happened, I have no idea why
"it" stopped, and no idea how to prevent recurrence.
TIA,
Harry
