Then I restarted and it gave the option to run Startup Repair ( Reccomended ) then when I run that it just spins and spins, any tips how I can get it to start back up?

I sincerely apologize Brian I wasn't trying to disrespect anyone, I just couldn't screenshot, and just found a similar pic on google images, again I am sorry no harm meant. And I didn't steal anything, it was just a reference photo.

I understand, but the person who owns that image may not like it being used without his permission or without a link showing where that image or text is from.
I know it can be hard for some people to share screen shot, but I got to follow copyright law.

Hi,

Here are few diagnostics steps that you can follow in order to know whether the problem is with hardware or software.

1) Unplug all peripherals and cables from tower and keep holding the power button on tower for a minute and release it. Then connect only Power Cable, Video Cable, Keyboard and Mouse.
2) Boot system in BIOS, checked of HDD listed in BIOS or not.
3) If HDD is not set on IDE (new HDD would show in SATA) then do ‘Load Optimized Defaults’ or ‘Load Setup Defaults’, save the changes and restart system.
4) If that does not boot system in Windows, then try to boot system in Safe Mode.
5) If able to boot system in Safe Mode then do a System Restore.
6) If unable to boot system in Safe Mode then try ‘Last Known Good Configuration’.
7) Also, open Boot Option and try to boot from HDD.
8) If everything does not work and if you have Windows disk, then you can try ‘Recovery Options’ from it.

If HDD shows in BIOS and above solutions does not work, then you should try re-installing OS.

Please reply.
