Boot issue/possible hdd issue
Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
Here is the issue I'm having, and what I've done to try to solve it (bear with me):
1. Woke up this morning and computer wouldn't "unsleep", did hard power down, restarted normally, showed splash screen, then went blank, monitor turned off, nothing. Tried this a couple times.
2. Hard power down, started in safe mode, ran system recovery, it didn't work, same thing as above.
3. Retried this, ran recovery, it restarted but same as above. Splash screen, then nothing.
4. Hard power down, booted in safe mode, got "recovery successful" message, restarted.
5. When it restarted it went to chkdsk screen and ran chkdsk successfully. It deleted an index file and recovered a bunch of stuff. Then restarted, went to splash screen, then nothing. Went blank, monitor powered off .
Is there anything else I can do besides taking in to get repaired? Any assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
