I have a three year old Compaq, that, in the last 2 days has started to act up. When I turn it on, I get the wonderful Compaq menu (The one where you have ESC, F1 for Settings, and F10 for a system restore), well, it will go from that screen, which is normal for booting up, to a blank black screen with a flashing curser, like in old DOS. Then, it stops. My only option is to turn off the computer, which I can do by hitting ctrl, alt, del, and will restart the comp. After a few reboots, it eventually starts up, and computer is ready to use.
My question, what the heck is going on and how can I stop this! It just started and is quite annoying. Took me half an hour today just to get my comp to come on and stay on.
