Right heres the situation, had a normal desktop PC with windows xp, which i used during my first year at Uni, anyway one day the pc just stopped working, every time i turned it on, after initially trying to boot up it just re-starts and this keeps happening. I tried putting in different hard-drives and even bought a brand new one and the problem still happened, after 10 or 15 seconds of booting it up it would automatically re start. So its not a hard-drive problem, must be somthing else within the computer. Going to give it to some1 to try and fix, but the original hard-drive is fried, had cousins round yesterday and they spilt juice and all sorts on to the HD after i left if lying in my room and its done now.
My question is, is there any other way that i could retrieve me work and files from the computer, does the computer store the memory elsewhere or is the hard drive the only place?
Be grateful for any help.
