Desktop cannot boot after installation of SP1
Hi,
Need some help from the experts here. I have been searching on google but have not found a solution. Thanks in advance for you advice.
I have an eMachines desktop running Windows 7 Professional that cannot boot from the HD, DVD and USB sticks after installation of SP1. After installation of SP1 I clicked Restart and the machine did the reconfiguration. But while doing the configuration Windows abruptly shut down the machine and the monitor screen was black, and the PC did not reboot.
I powered the machine back on but it would not boot from the HD; there was no sound from the HD. I tried to get into the BIOS and boot menu but the monitor screen was black with no response to key strokes. So the machine cannot boot from the HD, the DVD and the USB stick. The PC fan still turns very strong so the power unit seems good. I tried three different monitors and two keyboards and also took out the CMOS clock battery, but still had the same boot problem.

Small form factor
Athlon II X2 220 (2.80 GHz)
