cant turn on pc...

by hsTE • 20 Jul 2010, 16:06 • Journals
Well, earlier today i got a virus somehow.. i didnt go on any weird sites or download anything. Now when i try to reboot my PC it gets half way then stops at a black screen :/ It even gets stuck when i try and boot in safe mode...

I would really appreciate some help and would LOVE a solution that doesnt cause me to lose everything on my PC like movie projects etc :(

No random chick for now as i'm writing this on my ps3 and it's taken ages :D

Please help, hste

could be due to a load of reasons.

my suggestion if you don't get it solved: download some live linux distro at a friends place, boot from dvd and copy all relevant files on a backup hd. format afterwards.

PC is pretty much done for, had this on my laptop, but I got into the system settings somehow and put my USB in and was able to transfer my shit, after I formatted.

If you cant get the shit you need on your computer then its fucked

maybe it's not a virus but your power supply that fucked up !

try to boot without your graphic card. If it works, buy new power supply.

Download and burn ultimatebootcd from another computer, set your bios to boot from cd, completely format your hdd from the ultimatebootcd, reinstall windows, np.

If it won't turn on at all like nothing happens when you press the power button,

First i'd unplug your hard drives, then try boot,

Then remove all but 1 stick of ram, and anything else non essential, if it's not powering on at all its more than likely hardware problem

It does start to power on, but goes to a black screen and doesnt do anything.

You need your windows CD then, so you can take all the files off your HD. If you don't have the CD, your fucked
