Hello all! Well, I screwed up. My old HP Pavilion was giving me trouble, running slow no matter what I did, so I decided to reinstall the system to see if it helped any.

And in a panic to stop the process, I hit the power button. So now when I turn on the computer, it doesn’t boot up... Read more ..read more

It's had a lot of updates recently, and I've noticed my email client that always worked great (thunderbird) suddenly as of a few weeks ago crashes non stop and takes an eternity to open. I've no idea if this is at all related to todays issue-I switch it on and the screen does... Read more ..read more
