It was working fine after the fall until i tried opening an mp3.
Computer fell on floor doesn t boot.
If the recovery environment won t load or doesn t see your hard drive you likely have a hardware problem.
During a fall especially if the drive was running at the time of impact it is quite possible that the drive sustained damage.
Now when i try and turn on my computer it says that windows didn t start properly and i have the choice of either.
My laptop was sitting on my dining room table when it fell off.
In this situation no matter which safe mode option you choose your computer eventually stops freezes or restarts on its own after which you find yourself right back at the startup settings or advanced boot options menu.
Be sure to check your bios or uefi s boot order first if the recovery environment won t load.
My computer then froze up and wouldn t respond at all even after trying ctrl alt delete.
Whatever your issue here are some troubleshooting steps to take when your computer.
When i try to boot up my computer it doesn t get to the windows xp loading screen and just stays in on a black screen.
I wasn t there at the time so i m not sure exactly how it fell or if i heard something.
I m not particularly computer savvy so i don t know how to.
To prevent data loss in case it should fail in the near future back up all important files immediately to an external device.
So i force shut down and after that windows wouldn t boot up.
This should be done even if the computer doesn t show any obvious signs of damage.
So my nephew decided to tip my computer tower over and being that it is fairly large and is on carpet it fell pretty hard.
