I have a desktop computer (Windows XP, Dell) that i let someone borrow over the summer. The person who i let borrow, commented to me that the computer stopped funcioning right and that it might be because a water leek in the roof. So im not sure if this is the problem but here are the computer's symptoms:
Turning on the computer everything runs fine, no beeps, the green power light is steady, the windows xp loading screen is fine. Then the black code (command) screen pops up and says "Drive (1 or 2 i forgot) not found". I press the "start windows normally" option, and the control panel pops up. Click escape, and when the welcome screen comes up the screen looks all dull (can bearly see the welcome screen) and the screen is compressed or squished vertically. So i open the computer's cpu, and try to start it again, and i notice a green light on the motherboard light up. I'm not sure if that's normal. What can be wrong?
