Idiot broke her computer.

I broke my computer....It's in a loop it says its starting up but it never gets to the welcome screen it just restarts itself. It's never done this before and I don''t know how it got this way.... I have important files and things I need to print on there and I need my computer since I just entered high school. WTF is wrong with it? Please offer assistance. I won't be on until wensday. Thanks all....

Sounds like something to do with the BIOS, are there any system beeps during boot-up?

I had this. when starting up click F5 constantly until it somes up with a blue screen. select hotfix or safe mode and that would reboot it. unfortunatly the files will be lost and you will have to start over again. make sure you have your program and file disks

If your computer isn't that old you should be able to use the restore disks without deleteing your hard drive.... Its called "non-distructive restore"
