Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the computer.

Go to a cmd prompt and run chkdsk /f. You will have to reboot to run it.

Backup your data ASAP

How old is your HD? and what Service packs do you have on it?

it can't open My Computer, but it CAN open the start menu? That is odd, they are the same program. Opening it twice starts WIndows Explorer (in your case Windows NT Explorer) or My computer, which ever was clicked.

CHeck the connections of the cabels in your computer if you actually kicked the computer.
