egh, look: 1) open up your PC, see if there this anything loose or shorting out or on fire. On fire is bad. 2) try a system restore, should be like F11 or F12 at startup. 3) if none of that works re-install windows. also a pic of what's happening would also be nice.

Does reinstalling windows erase everything? I have a lot of stuff I would rather not lose because it will take a while to get it all back. |

new windows move your old windows into a map called Windows.old so you can always get the stuff back from there. not sure it always does that... but just make backups!

I assume you have no other computer or hard drives sitting around? |

If nothing is working BIOs -->> clean your HD -->> install Windows again -->> Stop clicking on Junkmails and Spyware. Or maybe it's just the mainboard ? i heard some of the cheaper ASRock stuff got problems with the Booting... |

But doing a system restore or reinstalling windows loses all my documents and crap? |
