Hello, I have been away from home for a few days during a freezing weather spell. When I returned and switched on my PC it started up as normal but got no further than 'Windows XP is loading......'. I tried again and got a message explaining that the PC had not been turned off correctly (although I had turned it off in the usual way)
and gave several options to access Windows XP. Non of these methods has been successful. Can you help me to get my Windows XP back again please? I am anxious not to lose all my family photos and documents and Itunes collection.
With many thanks - NannyBrook

Good evening, for you are away during a freezing weather, I advise you to open your machine and gently clean the various components of your CPU (RAM, fan, components that are on the motherboard), with a dry cloth. Once done, restart your pc to see if the problem persists.
PS: remember to unplug the power sector.

Hi- I have dried the inside of the PC but still no success in loading Windows XP. Now I am keeping the pc in a warm room for a few days to see if that helps, If you have any ideas to help I will be pleased.
With thanks NannyBrook

Hi there,

Try this:

- Remove battery, unplug power, hold power button for 60 seconds, turn on computer with power plug only, then shutdown, add battery and restart
