Solve : Computer Fell, Boot Loop? |
|
Answer» My HP desktop computer - just 6 months old - fell on it side when I accidentally pulled on its power cord. The screen went all fuzzy and I panicked and unplugged its power. It would not even start to boot Windows 7 so I opened it up and saww that the cord was a little loose to the hdd. I reinserted it and the computer booted up fine but it went real slow so I tried to restart but it would not boot again. It hangs on the Windows booting THING then restarts and asks if I want to try to launch startup repair. It starts to load files then sometimes it just goes BLACK and other times it says that the boot disk cannot be found or something like that. Please help me. I am sick to my stomach. I bought it from Costco.com but am unsure of how the warranty there works and cannot go more than a day or so without my computer. I am crying. Please help...You broke it. There are no easy fixes for this. If the warranty does not cover accidental damage or careless treatment, you will have to pay for repairs. ...I bought it from Costco.com but am unsure of how the warranty there works and cannot go more than a day or so without my computer. I am crying. Please help...Is this for real? Take it back to Costco tomorrow (if your survive). If you don't have a computer, how are you posting to this forum?

You have a severe problem, not easily fixed at a distance, with hardware damage due to you knocking your PC over. If you want a LONGER version than "you broke it", the previous sentence is it. Also since you don't seem to be a technical nerd type of person I suggested you consider whether a warranty claim will succeed given that you admit you caused the damage yourself, and further consider whether a trip to a repair shop might be a good idea. Of course you can always open it up, and look it over, for example seeing if the hard drive cables are firmly connected, the RAM module(s) and expansion cards are properly seated, whether any cables look loose, etc. If you don't know what these things mean, and you don't know anyone who does, you are going to have to pay some person or company to do it. The problem is that while we can offer lots of advice about SOFTWARE problems, and so on, if you actually knocked over your computer you probably broke something. They don't like rough treatment. It is the sort of situation where web forums are not able to do much. We can't tell you about some software program that will magically repair a cracked motherboard or a damaged hard drive or re-seat RAM modules.
