When I turn on the computer, it goes to the manufactures screen, then after about 10 seconds just goes to a black screen with a flashing cursor at the top. (I cannot move the cursor or type anyting ) Windows (I have XP, home version) does not start. I can get into the boot menu before it goes blank and then it will boot from there. Obvioulsly this is not right. The computer is also running slow now.
I have done a checkdisk, ran a virus scan, hardware checks, and various other diagnostics, and it tells me nothing is wrong. Well I beg to differ!
I have not downloaded anything, done anything out of the ordinary, Im at a loss.
Any clues what might be wrong?
ETA: I forgot I did have to do a hard shut down. I went to Hulu and it completly locked up the computer loading the main page. I had no choice.
