My Computer Just Died - Help please
My computer was going slow, and then yesterday it died.
When I switch on it starts to go through the start-up routine, but only gets to 'Verifying DMI pool' and then nothing.
I've tried booting from the windows installation disk, but nothing the optical drive doesn't seem to be spinning even.
I can get into the BIOS when switching on, and have verified that the boot order is removable devices first - but can't explore anything further in the BIOS.
Also when it last produced a screen image, there seemed to be a change of style - the taskbar had gone from blue to grey.
I'm not sure whether it's system, hard drive or what - any ideas please?
I'm running Win7 Home Premium 32 bit on this machine.
