I think the best idea would probably take it to a computer store like Best Buy or something and get them to check it out. If you fiddle around with the computer you could have something happen that could further damage it.

ok that was a lot to read so i didnt read it all, sorry. try turning it off and then turning it back on, when you turn it back on, press the F8 key until it comes up to a menu. on that menu you may have some options, you want to either "START IN SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING" or "RESTORE TO LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION". if it doesnt let you do that, see if you can take it somewhere to have it formatted. good luck!
