My computer is acting strangely.
First, the screen acts weird. It wont turn on or off unless I shut down.
Second, I turn it on. It says that I need to "Start it normally", "Safe Mode", "Safe Mode with Networking", and "Safe Mode with Command Prompt". I pick Start Windows normally. Then, it starts. But when it is supposed to load the screen where I pick which user to use, it freees before it loads. It's just a black screen that stays there. I've tried unplugging the power source and resetting it, but I still dont kow what to do.

Hit control + Alt + delete twice, then you get the classic logon screen.
If that doesn't work, try safe mode and a system restore.
If that doesn't work, reinstall windows.
If that doesn't work, reformat.
If that doesn't work, I have no idea what will.

Do a repair from the Windows disk, that should fix the issue, and it won't delete your files.

IF ALL OF THAT DOESNT WORK.

Then put in a boot disk of any windows, and boot your computer. Usually it will recognize that you have a boot CD and will ask you if you want to boot from that. And if your computer doesnt do that, then go into your BIOS [F2 at the starting screen..might be diff for your computer] and change the boot device to a CD/DVD drive.


Good luck.

If none of those work, try changing your operating system, and if it still won't work :
buy a new computer.

A quick fix is to reformatt, but never trust a harddrive that has failed you before.

Unless it's not the hard drive.
It's good to run fitness tests on drives every so often.
