i have a compaq presario. last night, i installed the new version of windows media player and when i restarted the computer, it wouldnt go past the screen where it says compaq. i pressed all the F buttons (f1 - f12) and i got nothing. i couldnt even turn it off, i had to unplug it.

i shut off the power and left it for the night.

today, i turned it on to find that time did not solve my problem.


any help would be greatly appreciated!!
 
Open the case and start reseating all the cards and memory. Reset your bios. Clean out any dust while your in there and post back results.
 
i actually did that before you posted it and i dont know why but it worked.

none of the cables or anything were loose so i dont know how it got fixed.

thanks though

yeah as shawn said, sometimes it just helps. might have come a little loose or just got a bit of dust under a card or something.

glad that it got fixed though. :)
