REMEMBER, IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS, TAKE YOUR COMPUTER TO SOMEONE WHO DOES. DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO.

To start click on the appropriate statement below:

Your computer will still boot into Windows, even if it is very slow, and you CAN get on the Internet.

Your computer will still boot into Windows, even if it is very slow, but you CANNOT get on the Internet.

Your computer tries to boot into Windows, you see writing flash across the screen, the desktop tries to load, but Windows hangs up along the way, you get no icons, or you get a blue screen of death.

Your computer tries to boot into Windows, you see writing flash across the screen, but Windows doesn't load.

Your can hear a fan running but have a black or blank screen, and did not see any writing flash across the screen.

Your computer does absolutely nothing when you turn it on, no fan noise, no beeps, no green light on the monitor, no flashing writing on the screen. Seriously, nothing.

If you have a pretty good Idea what you want to try to do, use the quick links or troubleshooting links to the left to go directly to that page.

Take a look at the listings below to start trouble shooting your computer. In each case, the page you go to will have a description at the top defining a particular problem. Read these descriptions carefully, and choose the closest description to the problem you are having with your computer. For instance, you may choose "My computer does not do anything" because when you turn on your computer you hear it running but get nothing on the monitor screen. Actually, "My computer does not do anything" page applies when you do not hear any noises, not when you hear the fans run.

All software mentioned is available on the Recommended Software page, along with links to other products that I believe have value to the average computer owner.
