Hey guys, My laptop randomly shut off today and I need it for tomorrows presentation at work. I have a Compaq Presario 2100. When I turn it on, there is a black screen that says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully" When I click Safe Mode, I there is a whole bunch of messages like that say "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW\" A whole bunch of different messages. When I click Start Windows Normally, there is a Windows loading screen and the computer shuts off. What do I do?
It may be that this is the work of a virus or maleware or the result of the work of a virus or malware. Personally I would download a live cd with virus scan and run it first to see if it can pick up any infections. Just Google for "Live cd antivirus scan". There are scores of results. I would favour the Linux ones.
