Solved Computer Doesn't Boot Anyway to Save It?

[Oxygen]

For about 3 months now one of my desktops boots but shows black screen after it says windows, but anyways is there anyway to save it? like with boot cd/rescue disc or something? (I'm really confused on what to do).

download a linux live CD, burn it, run it, and if all works, it means it is a Windows issue

Why don't you try to Re-Install Windows.

If you have the install disc you can fix the MBR

Kaspersky have a live-CD based on Linux. Check the official site 4 dl. And I agree - it should be a MBR problem.

Would this be able to fix the issue?

I'm 95% sure its the display driver that messed up because its happened to me 3 times now on 2 computers that I took back to the store.

1. Insert Windows Installation Disc
2. Then When your Computer Starts In the Bottom you can find Boot Key which will take you to Boot Menu. (Commonly F10)
3. Then Select You DVD Writer.
4. & Windows Installation will startup.

no, just let you knows that it is a Windows issue or not; first step to verify before dealing with Windows.

Everyone who wants ultimate toolbox for situation like this, use HirensBootCD, it also has a option to fix MBR if it's damaged. It comes as zip file, extract iso only and burn it with any burning software you want, i recommend Ashampoo Burning Studio Free.

I would suggest you Use your Official Key to Download Windows Setup,
Which OS key are you having with you.
