Re: My laptop chrashed how do i recover whats on it?

Ok, the problem changed. I checked the BIOS and realized that it was only booting on the diskdrive and the floppy. I did this a long time ago when i tried to troubleshoot the pc myself. I changed it to boot on the harddrive. Now what happens is this:

it boots as a healthy computer should if, it asks me though weather i want to start windows in safe mode and all the other options in that menu. I've tried them all, still the same thing happens right after the windows xp loadscreen - the screen turns blue for a splitsecond and then reboots.
Could it maybe be fried RAM? or maybe i should try booting from an xp cd?

sorry its been awhile i know. Working on a ship and troubleshooting isn't that effective a deal.
