This is what happened: I accidentally pressed the power off button on the surge protector with my foot while working on the computer.

Now when I try to boot the computer it goes to the boot menu where I can choose Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, or Start Windows Normally. I have tried all three options but when I pick any of them it just reboots the computer and goes back to the same place.

What is wrong? How do I get passed that menu?

Thanks!

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration from that menu, or is it only giving you the three options you mentioned in your original post?

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".
