Hello everyone,

I just want to ask a help from all of you on how will I solve my problem. My problem started when i'm trying to start up my PC and instead of logging in my username and password, the screen turns red and restart it again and still it has the same problem.

I was thinking that it might be my hard drive.

Can anyone tell me what is the cause of the problem and what could be the possible solutions to my problem?

Thanks,

What brand & model is it ?

What version of Windows ?

If you have XP turn it on & start tapping the F8 key
You should get a screen offering startup options [if the hard drive is working]
It may take a few tries to get the screen
Use the arrow key[s] to hiliye Last known good configuration.

If the computer still doesn't start I suggest you try reinstalling >Windows.
