just reformat everything.  the windows o/s you have should boot automatically from your CD-ROM.  there are free utilities from majorgeeks.com to retrieve your lost data, even if you've reformatted the drive(s).  good luck, you're NOT an idiot.  everyone has had their computer woes.  how'd your Vista go?

what operating system do you have? did you install new hardware/software or update any drivers or do any changes to your computer just before this started to happen? If so, try starting your computer in safe mode . Pressing F8 when you see the Windows Logo should give you an option to start in Safe mode. When you are logged onto your computer, uninstall the new hardware/software or roll back any driver updates or undo any new changes you have made. Restart the computer to see if it works. Good luck!

Sometimes it takes several tries.    When you start trying, be sure to pick just one...  hit the key several times during the startup, but give up when you see the Windows screen start to come up.  \n\nIf you still have NO LUCK, then look up the manual from the manufacturer's website.  It could be a different KEY.

There are a lot of stuff to be said, it could be any:\n- Software Problem:\nError in Windows System Files\n\n- Hardware Problem:\nProcessor over heating\nRAM not working properly\nComputer fans not working properly\nHard Disk Spinning Errror\n\nI recommend trying to repair Windows through the Installation Media Source (the CD) by booting the computer witht the CD, then going into setup mode and choose repair.\n\nOtherwise, try backing up all your valueable data, format the Primary Partition, and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows...\n\nGood Luck

My guess you would need to repair or reinstall windows.

See if you can find a Recovery CD or the Actual Operating System CD. Use which ever one you have. \n\nIf you don't have the CD's then I guess you could use Windows System Restore.

Reinstall Windows, it sounds like it's all you can do in this particular situation. Find the Windows disk and use it.

Don't need to do anything hard. Insert your Windows Installation CD-Rom in the Drive, boot your system from CD-ROM, then go on installing windows, then Select " Repair Windows ", that's all you need to do,, nothings gonna change ...

If nothing starts up then its a simple power problem and you should be able to start your system after installing a new Power Unit. However if you are able to start the system then try to getinto the BIOS and use the CD drive as a boot option. Try reinstalling Windows and this should work. \nIf you have important data, try taking your Harddrive to your friends or your other PC and then install this drive as a secondary drive on your friends PC. This will then allow you to recover your data and then you can even check if your drive is corrupted or only the Windows install.

Windows is the problem :)

Step 1:  Get rid of windows ME.  It's crappy and nobody uses it anymore, because nobody liked it in the first place.  You can run either windows 98 or windows 2000 on that machine.  \n\nStep 2:  Follow step 1, your problem will be solved.
