    I am not sure where to post this, so I am hoping this is the right place.

    I am on my old computer and desparate to find help on how to fix my "crashed" computer. The sercuit breaker "tripped" and I ended up with a "sick" computer because of it. I need some help to fix it. (restore it where I can get to the start up menu, instead of redirecting me back to advanced options.) I can't even go on safe mode, just redirects. (I hope you understand, have a headache trying to do this today!):confused:

    I am using WINDOWS XP, HP pavilion 753n. (I checked on their website....and got some information, but wanted to see what I could do before trying their extreme help tips.)

    sounds like maybe your power supply got fried, you should definitely invest in a surge protector for your computer components as they are very sensative to power surges of that sort. if you can, try another psu to see if thats the problem.
