My computer has been acting a little sluggish lately then today I was working on it and it did a blue screen crash memory dump. No Windows will not open. I have tried recovering it to no avail. Has my hard drive crashed and died or what can I do? I am DESPERATE!!! I have a project I have to get done within a week. Please help!!!!!

Is there an error message on the screen? If so, what is it.

If no error message, do you see anything on the screen?

Can you get into the BIOS/CMOS Setup? If so, is the hard drive being detected?

When the screen oes black I cannot see anything. If I hit F2 it takes me to system setup but the only thing I see about BIOS says it cannot be changed.

Can you see that a hard drive is detected?

For example, in the following screenshot there is a "ST980811AS" (Seagate 80GB) hard drive detected on "SATA Port 1 Master".



If no hard drives were detected, all four of the Ports|Channels would say "None", (which can be extremely bad news).
