[Sodium_noir] Computer help

[Bill]

Hey everyone,

I'm having another computer problem and I was hoping someone out there might have an idea:


 At the moment Ann and I are without a furnace.  Someone's been in to look at it, the parts on order, and we should have heat within a day or two.  However, we've been running space heaters to keep the temp comfortable.  Temperatures in Chicago have been flirting with the freezing mark, and with a 15 old baby we need to keep the house warm.

Yesterday I popped a circuit breaker.  I reset it no problem, but when I went to turn my computer back on, it won't complete the start-up sequence.  It stops at a screen where I have an option to hit TAB to do one thing, DEL to do a second.

I took it into Geek Squad at Best Buy, they plugged it in, and it worked fine.  They said maybe it just needed a moment to rest.  I brought it back home and again it won't complete the start-up sequence.

Only thing I can think of is that it's not getting enough juice, but even after shutting off every other piece of electronic equipment the computer still will not start-up.

Any thoughts?
