I haven't turned on my tower in a few days so last night I decided to boot it up to grab some stuff I needed. I logged on and everything was fine, until I tried to watch a video, then the monitor gave me a no signal, then shut off. I grabbed a pen and jabbed the restart button and went through the computer check. As soon as it got to the log on section, the monitor went off again. I gave up and just shut it off. Today, I tried again and skipped the comp check. When I got to the log on screen, the above (subject line) greeted me. I clicked okay and it came up again. I clicked okay yet again and the monitor gave me the no signal and offed itself. I can't even get past the log-in screen.
I tried rebooting in safemode and it froze, while the drivers scrolled down the screen.
I was instructed to dl microsoft boot drive (since I do not have the xp disc), but I don't have another computer with a floppy drive (I'm on a laptop). My irl friends suck so none of them even own a computer that I could ask them to do it for me.
Recently, I've also received this message with a countdown to blackout: "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator."
I'm rather confused, annoyed, and saddened (if I lose all of my shit). Is there anything I can do?
