When I start up my other computer it gives me a black screen with white letters on it, and it gives me 2 choices, either to start windows normally, or to enter recovery screen. Well I have tried both choices, when I choose to start windows normally, it tells me that it did not start successfully and then it gives me more options, various safe mode ones, one to start windows with the most recent settings that worked. I have tried all of them, the safe mode works, but only sometimes. As for when I try to start normally, it gets to the loading screen where the little bars go from left to right and then somewhere in the middle while the little bars are going it just freezes there and stays. When I try to start it normally it almost never works, maybe ever 1 in 10 times, I'm beginning to think its a graphics card problem becuase this is one of the only times it has started up, but the resolution was changed to 800x600, instead of my normal resolution.

Another note: I don't have the boot disk for Windows.

I doubt it. 800x600 may be for older computers, but I don't see how that would cause any problems since 800x600 is still usable. More likely it's a hard drive corruption.

This happened to me once. I'd somehow lost a necessary windows system file. I never got it fixed. Try the geek squad at best buy. Or a local computer store. Sometimes they can give you tips for free if you just go in and talk to the sales people. Some of them are pretty knowledgable.

Does it boot in probability-free Mode in any respect? If it does, then that is in all likelihood an replace failed and also you're able to bypass decrease back to a fix element and eliminate that replace, this may properly be finished if it boots in probability-free mode.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
