Hi this is my first post. sorry if there is another problem on this.

My Compaq laptop will not go further than the logo screen. I installed
Windows 7 3 days before. The last thing i remember installing was Windows
XP Mode. An emulator for windows 7 for programs that couldnt run on it.

Anyways, i was doing a reboot, and when it was rebooting i had closed it
to run downstairs to eat.

(^ Pretty stupid i think)

It's not even a year old.

I've talked with the people at HP/Compaq and they told me to reseat my
RAM. Which i did, i also opened up half of the laptop, reseated the hardrive
also.

I tried booting with each RAM stick. Nothing on that also.

I tried Windows 7 recovery disc. The disc spins but doesnt load.
Tried Windows XP Pro Disc. Nothing
I even tried an Autonuke disc, Which is supposed to wipe all data on the hardrive

SPECS:

Compaq Presario C500
Windows Se7en(always wanted to type that)
1536 MB of RAM

Last thing i want to do is ship it -.-

It has had no symptoms of slowing etc before. It ran perfectly with windows 7.

I've even installed Windows 7 on my desktop Emachines(which i am using atm)

And it only has 650 mb of RAM.

Please help.
