    Computer wont start

     
    I was cleaning out the dust from my computer and installing a new fan. When I turned my PC on it wouldn't boot to windows, before it got to the XP window it would just restart. The only thing you see is the bios screen. It never done this before... What could cause this??

    The impossible takes more time,and costs more money.

    What did you use to do your cleaning? You must have created some static electricity in there and zapped the drive.

    You didn't use a compressor did you? Every time I've ever used one I've lost a component.
