I don't think my issue is specific to any system, but I'm using Vista so I started the thread here.
I'll start by saying my problem is very distressing. A few days ago my other computer (Compaq Presario 5180AN) wouldn't start up. I turned it on and off a few times and I eventually got the wonderful blue screen. I then left the computer for a few days.
I tried to get the computer going again today - and it simply won't do anything. It won't even load the 'Compaq' screen at the very beginning. It's making unusual starting sounds, and the power light occasionally flashes with the 'cylinder' light below it.
This is really a problem because I'm in my last year of school, have final exams in 3 weeks and I have a lot of notes on that computer. Any help is appreciated
