Please Help Me...I have a HP SlimLine DeskTop w/OEM Vista (Basic). It's about 3 years old or so (sorry that is all the details I have right now - I am posting this from work). My husband was using the computer Saturday but kept getting a bunch on internet explorer errors (common for us - we have Time Warner Cable). No big deal - he shut it down. Sunday I try to boot it up. Get to my desktop, everything seems fine - then screen gets all pixelated/mosaic looking. No Mouse. I shut it down, start it up again. This time I get to the blue screen that asks start normal, safe, etc. But the screen again goes weird. No mouse. Shut down, start it again - this time it goes to some kind of "Start-Up Repair" but then goes to a black screen & does nothing. So I shut it off again. I give up at this point & just leave it off until yesterday. I go to boot it up - green lights flicker across keyboard then go off, green light on tower flickers then goes out. Screen remains black. No keyboard, no mouse, no beeps, nothing, but I can hear the fan running. It's like it's trying to boot up but not making it very far. I haven't opened it up yet - I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to hardware. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is or what I should do. I don't have any recovery discs or anything - but I don't even know if that would work anyway. Before this happenned there were no updates/virus. Please help - I'm lost. Thank you in advance.
