So yesterday I was surfing the web and my computer turned off all of a sudden. Today I try and boot it up and after the Asus BIOS the screen goes blank with the blinking cursor in the upper left. I cannot get to any Windows Vista screen. I made sure the booting device priority was set to my one HD and that did not change anything. I then booted off my Vista CD and ran a startup repair and no issues were found. I am going to assume this is a data/HD issue. I ran a memory diagnostic tool found on Vista DVD and my memory seems to be fine. The CPU seems to be acting fine as well. All my devices are read by the motherboard as far as I can tell.
Anyways, I was just seeing if there were any opinions on this matter. Worse comes to worse I can do a clean install, but I would rather not lose all my music/files.
Should I try connecting the HD to this(parents) computer to see if I can boot off the drive from this computer or would that not matter much?
I looked around on the web and could not find a definitive answer.
