When I turn on my PC or restart it, it sits there on a black screen with the "_" blinking in the very upper left corner. And about 5-10 minutes later it tells that the disk boot failed or something and that i need to insert a disc.

I have my recovery discs which I have used before to restore my PC its original factory condition (two times before today). I usually do it just to get a fresh start with my computer after having quite a bit of games and such installed.

So I did a total of 3 factory condition restores and I still get the problem. Sometimes windows starts up with no other problems. I have the feeling that its only going to get worse and it will start to never work. Is there anything I can do?

If it matters heres a few of my specs(may not be all the of the correct terms):
windows vista 32bit
amd dual core processor
3GM ram
two 288GB harddrives
nVidia Geforce 9800GT overcloaked


thank you in advance

Can you press F8 to bring up that menu for starting the computer normally / in safe mode???

when i restarted to test it, everything just started up normally. pressing F8 didnt seem to do anything,

on the very first screen the options are F11 and Esc though, but I haven't tried either yet.

What does it mean if i do or dont get that screen?
