My home pc died. Im having a technician come this monday but I can't explain the problem. Any ideas?

Question

When I turned on the pc, the monitor goes on, I can hear the cpu go activate itself. But after the Windows XP logo turns off, it starts booting up again. Anyone with any idea what went wrong with this? My anti-virus is updated, my scanware, adware are also updated and enabled. But my pc won't kick in. It just turns black after the logo leaves the monitor. I'm not very well versed with technical terms but what's wrong with my pc? It was running fine last night when I closed it.

Can you boot windows in Safe Mode ? Switch Power on, then start tapping the F8 key untill you see a menu, pick the Safe mode menu option from there, hit enter key, see if your computer boots.

Probably a hardware problem (sound, video or anything WinXP uses that DOS does not), you will probably have to drop a lot cash to get it fixed. But you never know, it could be something so simple that it will be fixed in 5 minutes

Answer 5

there is probably something wrong with your motherboard!
