I just recieved a computer I bought about a week ago, yesterday. Last night, while it was on and downloading files, the power board it was plugged into shut off. Now, it's stuck in an endless loop of failing to boot. It keeps asking me to insert the Windows 7 installation disc and restart. I put...

My hubby's PC is running Win7 32 bit. Typically he "hibernates" his PC rather than shutting it down. Yesterday he hibernated the PC as usual and then proceeded to remove the power cable while he was re-routing various cables. He has his hard drives mounted in front loading bays (no need to open...

Hello All! I'll just give you guys the details and see if any of you can solve this little puzzle I've created. Needless too say, I made a few stupid mistakes along this road. 1) Asus Laptop Model UL50VT with Windows 7 Home Premium. 2) Hard Drive crashes dies, send it in and get it replaced...

After recently downloading the service pack, I've had issues with my computer, including the themes service not working. I want to uninstall the pack so that I can do a system repair using my disc because my disc is older than the service pack. However, the service pack doesn't show up on the...

Ok, I caused it but I am wondering if anybody ever heard of this and if I can change it back. I am running windows 7 and I booted into safe mode to do a sfc /scannow. I was having another small issue and thought that I would just do that to check if it would fix it. After I rebooted I got a...
