i have no idea how to get computer back on
Ok sorry about last post, i'll tell you what i know.
Ok i was on my computer, all is good. Just on the internet, not slow or doing anything weird. I click on itunes, would not come up which happens sometimes. Restarted it.
It reloads and stuff, but right when it is about to come on it just goes to this blank black screen with a dash(-) in it
I have tried all the safe mode
Its a desktop
HP pavillion a16 204
It is about 3 or 4yrs old
It makes a normal noise, nothing weird really
but it does make i guess sounds like a person snoring?
And its a microsoft media center addition
and like the blank screen will come on for like 15min, then pretty much just restart and go back to the blank screen..?Last edited by sumsum09; 01-15-2010 at 02:33 AM.

Could be a number of things, from windows failure to hardware failure. More info please, operating system (XP, etc) make and model of PC, strange noises or beeping on start up. Have you tried going in to Safe Mode?

Just as a shot in the dark, make sure there are no disks in the drive (Floppy, CD, DVD) and disconnect any USB devices.
If the situation does not change, what do you mean by "I have tried all the safe mode"? What exactly have you tried? do you get a Safe Mode options screen?Always remember you're unique.

USB is a connection commonly used for connecting Printers, webcams and other hardware such as Harddrives(external) etc.
Can you get to the desktop in safe mode? If so, Try a system restore back to a point before this was a problem. Do you need instructions?Always remember you're unique.
