My Computer crashed

Well, this morning I was doing a System restore, I took the computer back 2 weeks... As it was halfway the computer randomly rebooted itself.

Now whenever I try get to the login screen, where i have to enter the password.

The keyboard and mouse don't seem to respond and nothing I can do allows me into the OS.


I cant reformat unless I can either
1 save all the drivers on my computer and install again
2 want to pay $300 for an IT person to come fix the drivers etc.

 

Put your hard drive as a slave in a working computer and save all your files from there reinstall.

Opening the case voids the 3 year warranty We have.

if i do open it, i gotta make sure its not noticable.

 

What about that warranty :/

 

Just do it very carefully, don't crossthread any screws etc

 

Still need help guys its not working... reseting the bios etc.

 

Boot using an external HDD, then transfer all the shit? Either that or install the OS on a different partition.

As for the keyboard not working I'd say your BIOS is in Safemode.

 

That happened to my computer but it set back like 2 months and I payed only 50$ to get it fixed.

 

problem is i cant get on... to reset it.

 

Step 1: get a linux live CD
Step 2: put the CD in
Step 3: it will boot linux
Step 4: Copy all your shit to an external drive or something
Step 5: reformat
Step 6: kill yourself

 

Well, The IT people were meant to come in today. But they didn't so I'm back to square one.

 

Jansen just gave you great instructions, download and make a Linux Live CD and boot from that. I'd recommend just using a Ubuntu 8 live CD as I did it a couple days ago and it was easy as shit to do.

Ubuntu download is around 900meg, that would be a 2 day download, which I doubt my internet will not cut out during the download.

 

Wow, get new internet much?

But window's likes to fux w/ us like that, so that's prolly the best solution. Just do some research before you switch to Linux though, not knowing anything about it could ruin you.

 

LOLDONGs

I'm reformatting and voided my $300 4 year warranty.
Wish me luck.

 

Macro how'd it end up going? Fixed?
