I'll start off by saying I don't know a whole lot about computers, and even less about all the technical lingo Be patient with me please.
A while back my video card died on me, and since it was part of my motherboard, got a new one and had my mother (who has built a few computers) to put it in for me, and I assume she did everything right. Anyway, she's out of the picture now, and every time I try to start my computer, it takes me to a screen where my options are to Start Windows Normally (which always ends in it just restarting and coming back to this page) or to Run Startup Repair.
So I run Startup Repair, being my only option, but in the end that doesn't work. It tells me Windows cannot repair the problem automatically, and says if I've attached any camera, MP3 players, etc. lately to remove them and try again. Well I have nothing plugged in now except for the monitor, and still nothing, so that wasn't the issue.
After Startup repair fails, it gives me a few details, one of which being "Startup repair offline" and some others, error codes, but nothing to really help me out here.
Is there anything I can do/try to get this thing going again? I've been using my laptop since it crashed, but have some free time now and would like to at least try to fix this thing. Any help at all would be appreciated, I've been trying other solution I've found online for similar problems, but nothing's worked :/
