Last night I turned my computer off, and today when I turned it on..
It would show the inital black setup screen (the one with the numbers/letters) then go on to the next screen with a blue backround and saying "HP" in the center... after then it goes black for a second then switches to the pick a user screen.
Except today, it goes from the "HP" screen and sticks on the black screen, it does not move on to the select a user screen. I tried turning it off and on, even turning off all the power. It doesn't work.
I'm no computer wiz.. by any stretch. So I was wondering is my computer gone, and can it be saved?
Some backround that may be relevant... a few ppl in house were turning computer off inappropriately for awhile and then the computer would make a humming noise. Finally they stopped but the noise continued getting worse.. almost like a reving engine. (Not nearly as loud obviously) It lasted awhile, but.. today it obviously decided to stop working so well. Thanks in advance!!
