Need Help Fast!!!

Hey, hopefully someone here can help me out. I'm in a huge rut and I need help fast. So this morning, I shut down my computer, and I noticed 15 minutes had passed and it still hadn't shut all the way down. So I just held the power button and turned it off manually. I just got home from classes and plugged everything back up, but my PC will not boot properly. It goes from the Windows loading screen with the progress bar in the middle, and then acts as if it's going to go to the regular startup page, but then a "No Signal" message pops up and the whole process starts back over again.

I do get a message now saying that Windows was not shut down properly and asks if I want to boot normally or in safe mode...both of these have the same outcome. The "No Signal" message.

So...I have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
Umm...does it have to be the disc I originally used? When I built my pc, I borrowed a copy of Windows XP Pro from a friend, and I no longer have access to that disc.
 
Try holding F8 before the boot screen comes up and choose either "Safe Mode" or "VGA Mode". If you can then get into windows, do a system restore.
 
Okay...I tried booting in VGA mode, but the same thing happens...

I'm running XP Pro...but like I said I don't have access to that disc anymore, the only thing I currently have available is a XP HE disc from Dell and I'm pretty sure that won't work.

Any ideas?
