My computer won't boot up. How can I fix this?
Answers:
I would really have to be there to try some things...but I can maybe help you out a little. Can you hear the hard drive spinning up? Does it sound like the read head is moving around and doing it's job? Does your computer make any unusual noises or restart itself (assuming you leave it alone for a few minutes)? Does your first startup screen show the status of different installed devices? If so, are they all reading ok?
Most likely something has gone awry in your BIOS (which an expert should really be the one to fix) or your hard drive has died. The hard drive is easier for the average joe to fix, but you'll lose a whole bunch of data...unless you do regular backups (which most of us don't).
In any case, best of luck with your computer.
press f8 when repeatedly as fast as u can when u turn on the computer. Then go to the "last good configuration" and press enter.
Unplug and devices attached to your computer, except for the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
That includes Ethernet and dialup connections.
WEll f8 is a good one but me id tap on the delete button and go into the bios. Then usually it is f5 to load defaults and then f10 save and exit, If defaults is different than f5 it will tell you at the bottom on the bios screen.
This will work as long as your not using a raid config.
