Possible hard drive failure. You may have to reinstall the operating system and if that doesn't work then you have to get a new hard drive. The tech may or may not be able to recover your files from the damaged unit.

Screen turns on while booting, after a minute or 2, goes blank.

Sounds like windows is hanging up or the hard drive is bad. Try to reinstall windows. If you have files you want to save;
(1) you can install windows on a new hard drive
(2) install windows on a different part of the hard drive. (You'll be asked by windows where you wanna install)
(3) remove the hard drive and copy files to your/a friends PC.
If the windows disk is in the CD/DVD drive and still get a black screen then your hard drive is bad.

You may have files that you want to keep that you saved on your hard drive, but if you haven't backed them up then you will have to lose them because the only thing you can do to fix this is use the factory recovery disk which will wipe your hard drive clean.Just put the disc into the disc tray and you should get an option to start the recovery disc when you turn on the computer, it will tell you to press a key to start it which might be f3 or something different, I'm am not sure what key but when you have done that you should be able to start the recovery and wipe the hard drive clean and it should solve your problem

Have you tried reformatting your hard drive and resintalling your operating system. Alot of times with the corrupted files on your hard drive, the system restore will not work. If your recovery partition is not there then your recovery process will not work either. I would definitely try to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows and restore my files from a backup. have fun!

When computer is turned on the windows logo comes up. The bar under the logo will complete 2 2/4 times then a squar comes up: Attention No Signal. It goes from that to a black sceen showing: safe mode,...

Something is causing Windows not to start up. The computer is restarting, and the loss of the signal to the monitor is why the monitor shows you that "no signal" message. You can try selecting the option to start using the last known good configuration and see if Windows starts up that way.

This problem might be due to either hardware or software. I've seen bad memory and bad system boards both cause this, as well as corrupted Windows installations (often the result of a virus or other malware infection). If you don't have any data you care about on the computer, you can try restoring the computer or reinstalling WIndows. This will quickly tell you if it's the hardware.

Shut down with ''ckdsk scan to run on next reboot''. Now it runs the black screen and the windows screen pops up and shuts down right away. It goes back to the black start up screnn and repeats forever.

Your HD's probably bought it, but you can always try to read from it later after you reinstall to a new hard drive or drive array (striped SATA is fast!)

Lap top wont boot up past the windows screen

This generally indicates that a sector in the hard drive has failed, and the hard drive will need to be replaced. With a bad sector the drive reads to the point of the bad sector and past the bad sector, but can't put the info together, so it tries to boot, but can't. Unfortunately, your only option is replacing the hard drive.
