While using the computer, no storm, this happened. Is it fried or any hope? Safe mode doesn't load just keeps looping

If you have a laptop, or have ever used one, do you like the touchpad better, or using a computer mouse better? I prefer the mouse, but am forced to use the touchpad because my usb port is not working.. What are advantages and disadvantages of using both? thank you.

I downloaded the trialare virsion of Norton system works. The program istalled ok, i was prompted to restart and did so. Now my computer wont boot up at all. In the Bios the order of boot is 1.floppy 2 hdd 3. cd. I've changed this order a few times with no luck. I have no boot cd , my computer came loaded with Windows XP so i don't have the disk. i thought it may be trying to boot from my LAN network so i disabled that , and still no luck. i checked the size of my HDD and my capacity is 160 and there's only 136 available so I know my operating system is still there.

Can i make a boot up disk from another computer with XP ? he has no floppy drive can i do it from cd ?

Any other idea's would be greatly appreciated...

I have a Windows desktop and a MacBook Pro that I'd like to back up on a single external hard drive. The drive is compatible with both units.

I have tried this before with another external drive with similar compatibility, without doing anything special (formatting or anything). I noticed that after backing up the Mac, then the PC, I couldn't go back to the Mac files while hooked up to the Mac.

The only way I could use the drive again with the Mac was to reformat it completely.

So how do I use one compatible drive to back up both units?

I have bought two new games for my computer. Its a windows xp and it supports both games. I can play both games for a period of 10-15 minutes before it shuts my computer completely off and then restarts it. I was wondering why I can't play the games for longer then 10-15 minutes at a time??

I know I have asked this question on here before but it was never answered so I am going to repost it.

My new pc will not boot. No matter what I do it just will not start (fully). Nomatter what hdd I have in there after about 20 sec my pc just turns off. Even when there is no hdd and I just start up into the bios it still just turns off after about 20sec. Each time I try to turn it on it stays on for less and less untill it turns off about about 5 sec. When that happens if I leave if off for a few min then it will stay on for about 20 sec and then turn it's self off. It is a new pc that I have just built and here are the specs:

Intel pentium D 940 3.2 ghz
ASUS P5VDC-MX mobo
256mb pc2700 sdr (temp)
Nvidia geforce mx 440 (temp)

Please help me get this to work. I have spent alot of money on it and it would be a huge shame if it turned out to be a waste of money and time.

Thanks
