Seriously upgrade to Windows 7

Either hard drive or power problems. Open it disconnect the HD for a few mins and plug it back. If that dont fix it your power supply is bad

Well, that is what it was, the power supply. It started up just now on its own.

Thanks everyone!

Good luck Cowboys!!

great.

Thanks, it was a $64.00 fix. Could you imagine if I just gave up this morning without coming here, and then just take it to a shop?!!!

They might have charged me a couple hundred dollars!!

It's so nice to get off that slow XP machine, but, I'm glad I keep it running/tuned up just for times like this.

I cannot find a place to download Windows 7. The official site is just trying to sell Windows 8.

Is it just best to buy the disk? Download can be tricky.

I'd recommend getting the disk. You can buy it on Amazon.com or Newegg.com.

download and burn. i'd say find a proper win7 download location and if you want it on dvd, burn it.

dvd's / cd's are dead.

When it comes to operating systems...disc rarely fail.

Downloads are hard to find and fail often when downloading.
