| 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.
