my pc was fine, went into sleep mode and now it won't wake up. Screen says compaq on it with a small mat with a ^ over the a in upper left hand corner. Any suggestions?
I can't get it to boot up at all. I have tried a cold boot, I have just made a boot disk and put that in. It wouldn't boot up for me from the disk either. No beep, but does like a quiet whirring sound, I have never seen a black screen with a "mat" in the upper left corner. The small a has a "^" above it like it is french.
here was no clicking or error codes, that is as far as my experience will take me.
When I put in the boot disk it acted like nothing was on the disk. But when I put the disk in my laptop and checked the boot ini file is there.
I can't get to my bios, any other suggestions?
