Computer fell on floor doesn t boot. This is a particularly annoying way in which your computer won t turn on because you re trying to use windows built in ways to solve your problem but you re getting. If the recovery environment won t load or doesn t see your hard drive you likely have a hardware problem. For example if something overwrote your windows drive s boot sector this will repair the boot sector. Maybe the computer doesn t turn on at all maybe it powers up but shuts right down or maybe it blue screens.

During a fall especially if the drive was running at the time of impact it is quite possible that the drive sustained damage. It was working fine after the fall until i tried opening an mp3. I m not particularly computer savvy so i don t know how to. So my nephew decided to tip my computer tower over and being that it is fairly large and is on carpet it fell pretty hard.

When i try to boot up my computer it doesn t get to the windows xp loading screen and just stays in on a black screen. Be sure to check your bios or uefi s boot order first if the recovery environment won t load. Now when i try and turn on my computer it says that windows didn t start properly and i have the choice of either. Whatever your issue here are some troubleshooting steps to take when your computer.

In this situation no matter which safe mode option you choose your computer eventually stops freezes or restarts on its own after which you find yourself right back at the startup settings or advanced boot options menu. My computer then froze up and wouldn t respond at all even after trying ctrl alt delete. I wasn t there at the time so i m not sure exactly how it fell or if i heard something.
