My computer won't start up properly?

Ilivid is the problem I downloaded ilivid and it screwed up my computer the same thing. happen, but I just got a new compute then. It is possible it put some type of virus on there. If you have a some typy of anti virus program like zone alarm try running that if it detects nothing then it's probably a virus then depends on what type of anti virus program you have

Thanks for all the info.

I don't think you have a virus because viruses don't take effect until you are in explorer.

Your computer is shutting down in the "Booting device" screen I assume from what you said. That is when the computer tries to access the data in your hard drive. It will most likely be your hard drive because that is your main booting device.

You need to take it to the repair shop so they can replace it. A hard drive can be from $60-$300 depending what kind of hard drive you are looking or how many files (music, movies, pictures) you plan on saving in your computer. I don't know how much they will charge you for replacing the hardrive.

Note all the data in your hard drive might be lost, there are recovery plans in compusa and circuit city, but they are kind of expensive.

Good luck.
