no, no recent problems nor any hardware/software chanfes. I just turn it off properly and now it has that problem...can u help? I don't want to use the restore cd because it'll delete everything. My neighbor thinks is the motherboard...I ahve no idea,,,,,

do you have a normal windows CD from which you can run recovery console (and subsequently chkdsk)

I have the restore cd but using it will delete everything. Right?
Thanks..

Not the restore CD- you need an actual windows Installation CD.

Restore CD will erase everything.
