Hi,
yesterday I accidentally pulled the plug of my PC without shutting it down properly. Today it didn't boot at all. Shortly before it would usually display the user selection the PC just completely stops sending visual signals to my screen. If I proceed to shut it down by holding the power button or by pulling the plug again I will be able to select safe mode during the next boot. Currently I'm using that mode, the PC booted successfully but it won't boot in regular mode.
Additional info:
- I have moved my (desktop) PC regularily the past few weeks, so it might as well be a hardware error, maybe not even related to pulling the plug yesterday. I just don't know how I can determine wether thats the case and what parts are broken.
- I can't be certain that it isn't just the graphics card thats broken. As I said the screen just stops receiving signals at some point of the booting process. Yet it appears that (after waiting for some time), if I just shortly press the power button, that a regular shutdown is performed (after some delay it shuts down and it won't offer me to use safe mode during the next booting). That might indicate that the booting process and the followed shutdown process were successful.
- After I tried booting a few times a windows automatic repair thing popped. It said it couldn't find any errors and afterwards I was offered an option to check the hardware. Unfortunately the error just reoccured before the hardware check could start (maybe even caused by it).
I would appreciate any advice regarding the problem or what steps I should perfom to determine it.
Thanks in advance. Please excuse my English, I'm from Germany.
Best regards
