Odd Problem...

Expand Post »
Let's see, I was playing WoW and my Computer froze. So I turned it off by holding the power button. Next thing I know when I go to restart it I'm prompted to pick Safe Mode, Normal Mode, Etc. Nothing bad right?

Well here's where I'm confused. The computer accepts what ever answer I give it. Then loads to the Compaq screen and "turns off" just to return to the Safe Mode, Normal, Etc. screen.

So I tried one of the options, when it gets to the Compaq screen I can hit F1 for "System" (not sure what that's about really) or F10 for "System Recovery." Problem is that "System Recovery" just loads to a light blue screen. That's it... just a light blue screen. Which forces me to Manually turn it off again.

If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it!
