After a power failure will not start the computer up. It will be up to the Windows,but then it only stands and chews. Tried safe mode, same result. Tried to put it back before the stop,same result. Take out battery, same result.

Someone in Kamala who can help?

If you have any valuable data on your hard drive, the sensible first step is to make a copy of your hard drive using a boot disc (Hiren, Acronis or UBCD) and an external hard drive. If your hard drive is huge, this may not be easy.

If you are getting to the Windows logo screen, there is a good chance your hard drive is still working properly. If your computer is making unfamiliar loud noises when the hard drive light comes on, there is an excellent chance that your hard drive is about to stop working completely, and you will lose all your data.

Do you mean the screen with the Windows logo or the Windows desktop when you say "Windows Screen"? What version of Windows are you using? How much data do you have on your hard drive? Does your laptop have a working CD/DVD drive? Is your laptop making unusual noises?

From what you've said, my best first guess would be that you have a virus/spyware which has damaged your windows install. Failing hard drive would be possibility number 2.

Not in Kamala, but somebody helpful might be. Good luck!
