Take the CMOS battery out of your computer and leave it out for 20 minutes or so, this will reset the BIOS to the original and safe settings, put it back in and reboot.
Use static precautions, ive seen strange things happen when computers have been effected by static |

I've got the same problem with mine, I keep havin gto re-install Windows to get it working again. This time however it seems to be a bit worse as it stalls in dos when I'm trying to format the drives. |

Find out what HDD you've got and get the appropriate utility from the manufacturers website. Sounds like the drive might be on it's last legs. |
