I have had this system for about 2 years now. Recently i started having problems starting it up. As far as my memory can serve me, it started after i backed up files from an infected system on it. While i was working, it suddenly went off. I ordinarily suspected the system fan, it turned out to be very ok. I powered on the system but it failed to boot beyond the Windows XP/Intel Logo screen (black screen). In my confusion i removed the batteries, turned it on and it started up.
Subsequently however, the problem persisted. Even when i take the bateries off or not, it does not boot beyond the above mentioned screen. Sometimes it boots to windows, then to desktop just for it to go off after a while. I can hardly use my system now.
I am so confused now. I don't know what to think. Whether its a corrupt OS, Virus action from the saved file ( they are still there) or low harddisk capacity (less than 8gigs) i don't know.
If any one has a clue as to what i can do, pls help out.
