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.
My computer then froze up and wouldn t respond at all even after trying ctrl alt delete.
Maybe the computer doesn t turn on at all maybe it powers up but shuts right down or maybe it blue screens.
It was working fine after the fall until i tried opening an mp3.
Now when i try and turn on my computer it says that windows didn t start properly and i have the choice of either.
During a fall especially if the drive was running at the time of impact it is quite possible that the drive sustained damage.
So i force shut down and after that windows wouldn t boot up.
