Black screen on startup
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section or not but here goes.. My wife did something last night and not sure what she actually done.. I start the computer and a screen comes up like normal (Intel Desktop Board, Intel Inside, Etc.).. After this screen goes off thats it, nothing happens.. It seems to try to do something for a second but then stops.. No activity coming from my PC at all.. What can I do from here?? Thanks

Do you own a Windows XP CD, assuming you are running XP.

Can you boot in safe mode (Press F8 repeatedly after the BIOS screen)
If not you need a CD to rule out if you hard drive is dead or not. |

XP is corrupt.
You will need a CD to try and repair it, it may also then become clear that the hard drive has had it too. |
