My computer starts, First screen has comp information top left, theres a blinking bar like when you open empty text document. Second screen no system info, just the blinking bar top left. Computer then just stays that way. Virus? HD damaged? Hd dead? or chip set dead?

hi butterfly, your windows operating system has lost essential files or has been corrupted. i hope you have your recovery cd.
first, boot the computer and start pressing F-10 till it takes you into your BIOS. nose around there until you find the selection of where to boot your computer from. enable the D: drive, save. then reboot the pc with disk 1 in the cd rom. to start the recovery. it will reload windows at the cost of your files i'm afraid. i hope you back up, or save to disk, your important things. after windows is installed and your all up and running again, remove the cd, reboot the computer, start hitting F-10 again to return to the BIOS, then reset the pc to boot from the hard drive (C:)...remember to save. i hope this helped.

HD damanged or else virus.
Either way, try rebooting in safemode.
Else bring to a computer tech and ask for them to backup your data and fix the comp.
