Hey guys, Im having so computer problems and Im not really computer saavy, so please bear with a noob here.
I recently had a new motherboard installed because my previous one was fried. When I went to go pick up my comp at the electronic store, one of the technicians suggested that I may need to reinstall my window xp OS.
However the problem is, I lost by backup OS CD and my backup harddrive so Im pretty bummed. However I tried turning my computer on anyway, and once I get to the default menu, where it asks whether you want to startup in safe mode, normal mode, and etc., the computer progesses no more. I tried selecting every single one and the result is the same, my computer reboots back to the default menu. It's driving me crazy because I need my computer up and running asap. My sister suggested that I just buy a new Windows Xp OS, but I wanted to get some feedback before I go buy it.
I would really appreciate any advice and help on this matter, and if this has been mentioned somewhere else on the forum im sorry.
