    my main computer
    « on: March 15, 2012, 09:57:04 AM »
    I recently bought a ASUS 2TB computer and turned it on, my screen didn't work so I turned the computer off. However I think that I have messed up my computer because now when I try to boot it up it gets to a screen where there is a small windows load bar that says "Setup is starting system" and then it turns to a black screen for about 4 seconds and then restarts. It then goes to a screen where it says "Windows Error Recovery" and says "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." have I completely messed up my computer or can I still save it?

        "alright but I was looking to try some other things"= in a word DON"T. Or you will possibly lose any relief under this "Make use of the warranty?" truenorth

        Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Still, if there's some important data on there it might need to get off.

        And then there's always the option to just throw in the recovery CD's and then diagnose the hard drive because it sounds to me like it's either the hard drive that's not 100% or a virus attack that caused damage to the file system.
