Trouble With Factory Restore--Kronos--

derek4u · Post by **derek4u** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:38 am

I am convinced I am the "odd man out," here--can't find a single post about my issue/problem...

I turn on my Kronos, and red progress indicator freezes up 1/6th of the way across--then, error message appears: SYSTEM STARTUP FAILED--Please remove any USB devices and restart

So: I try factory restore, with good DVD drive and accessory discs one and two...

Same thing happens, though I follow instructions precisely!! (Dialogue box prompting me to choose factory restore option does not appear.)

Anyone know, or have idea, what I might be doing wrong, and what I should do?

Thanks!!

i also had the same issue yesterday.
plugged off the power over night, and today everything ist fine.

I also heared that reseating the RAM can help.

best wishes

Happened to mine about a couple months ago, but it would fail formatting the disk every couple of tries too. I figured out it was the SSD, and took the opportunity to upgrade to a Intel 320 80Gb. Works awesome now.
