My dads computer, he told me it starts up and it shows the normal screen (The Compaq screen) than it just shows a blank screen with a line.. And nothing happens. Im going to look at it but what do you think can be the problem?
It was not a thread about him leaving, it was thread for attention.
BTW, yes, it probably is the hard drive, the same thing happened to my dads old HP. By old I mean around 7 years old, so the hard drive had served its time.
Turns out that there was a underoath CD, and the BIOS tryed to boot to the C.D 3 times. Than it would say "cant find disk", I think my bro messed around with the options
Always check ths BIOS, if nothign happens after the BIOS, either your SysConfig file got corrupted, or it's the BIOS and there's a malfunctions. Either way, the problem could be one of VERY many different things. Good luck.
