When i try to boot up my computer it doesn t get to the windows xp loading screen and just stays in on a black screen.
Computer fell on floor doesn t boot.
My laptop was sitting on my dining room table when it fell off.
Maybe the computer doesn t turn on at all maybe it powers up but shuts right down or maybe it blue screens.
My computer then froze up and wouldn t respond at all even after trying ctrl alt delete.
It was working fine after the fall until i tried opening an mp3.
If the recovery environment won t load or doesn t see your hard drive you likely have a hardware problem.
So my nephew decided to tip my computer tower over and being that it is fairly large and is on carpet it fell pretty hard.
In this situation no matter which safe mode option you choose your computer eventually stops freezes or restarts on its own after which you find yourself right back at the startup settings or advanced boot options menu.
This should be done even if the computer doesn t show any obvious signs of damage.
I wasn t there at the time so i m not sure exactly how it fell or if i heard something.
During a fall especially if the drive was running at the time of impact it is quite possible that the drive sustained damage.
For example if something overwrote your windows drive s boot sector this will repair the boot sector.
To prevent data loss in case it should fail in the near future back up all important files immediately to an external device.
I m not particularly computer savvy so i don t know how to.
Whatever your issue here are some troubleshooting steps to take when your computer.
So i force shut down and after that windows wouldn t boot up.
