Rebooted an old Dell 980 (that has been bulletproof for years) saw the windows boot image, then BLACK screen and a live (movable) cursor. Nothing I do seems to affect it. Replaced the (weak old) power supply. now it boots to a black screen faster. tried using a win 7 recovery iso and was able to get it to attempt to Restore.
recent restore (few days ago) same problem.
restore from 20 days ago same problem.
restore for 21 days ago, Restore died with ox800700B7 error.
(my noob guess is a bad driver update by Avast updater, but no way to know which one. Or even if it happened.)
Thanks for listening. (I have a win10 workstation, winXP workstation, win 11 laptop, win8 media pc, and a SGI IRIX. This is the only machine pissing me off.)
