Computer Troubleshooting Help

[nobbeh]

Last night there was a big thunder near our house and I didn't even had the time to react and unplug the computer. Before I knew it, the computer turned off with a small light coming from the computer, then I heard the thunder.

Now when I try to start the computer it restarts immiedately after the boot screen (you know the screen that displays all the shortcuts like F6, F10 and whatnot)

Obviously something is wrong hardware wise, how would I troubleshoot this?

I can't even start the computer, safe mode doesn't work either. I don't want to replace the whole computer but I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. I don't want to pay extra stupid money just to get a troubleshoot when you can do it yourself.

So please, any help is appreciated.

No I don't know. I suspect you mean the maker's splash screen ? If nothing happens after that it could honestly be anything.

I think I would start by checking the BIOS settings. On a desktop computer that's usually by pressing the Del key as the machine powers up. On a laptop have a look at the manual.

Once in the BIOS screens, see if the date is correct, the hard drive is being recognised etc. and the boot order starts with the hard drive.

If that's okay or correcting it makes no difference, I think you need to see a tech guy.

Hello,

How fihart said if ur componant are ok u need only to reinstall your pc or to just try a file system recovery by choosing repaire from the first screen choise from the installation menu/ and to choose your system partition/ and type this instruction :"chkdsk /p /r"
if dose not work then u ll choose repaire from the menu when the installation sequence detect a previous windows installation.
i hope is ok
