I messed up completely... this is what happened. I was running Windows 7 and I decided to test out Linux Ubuntu so that I would know what I was talking about with the OS. The disc run was pretty bare bones so I decided to install it onto my system. Bad news is that it completely messed up Win7...

It could be a few things causing this. If I were you I'd check over my RAM and processor, but if it's hardware related it's most likely your harddrive. Did you try virus scanning? I'd say it's probably a hardware problem, but the only way to make sure would be to allocate some space off your...
