computer problem

worse come to worse, just grab the harddrive, put it in someone else's desktop (or run a Linux Live CD), and backup your important files, and FFR. That usually fixes it

That would be worse case scenario of course .  But I would be able to easily do that if I needed to.

All the IT guys here, and nobody asked if you tried last known good config yet?

If you have another vid card laying around you could try swapping it in.

Also, if you have any kind of legacy ATA mode option in your bios, give that a whirl as well.

If you're not even booting safe mode after that...you're fucked.  Copy off your data and reinstall.

I had tried all the login options.  Safe Mode, Safe Mode with prompt, last known good config, just the tip, all the options it would give me.

The chkdsk /r thing worked like a charm, thanks for the help everyone

just glad to see that you got it fixed
