Hey everyone,
I've read numerous threads about this topic but none of them match my
situation exactly...so here goes:

I have a laptop, which is a compaq presario v6000. It is less than 3 years
old. It worked fine yesterday before I went to class, but when I returned
from class and turned it on, the Compaq logo screen came up as normal but
then changed to a black screen with a blinking underscore in the top left
corner. It stays this way. I cannot type anything at the screen. I was
able
to get into BIOS from the compaq logo screen, in which everything appears
normal. I even ran a self diagnostics check from BIOS and passed. I don't
know what to do...

Also, my computer came with a "QuickPlay" button located above the
keyboard.
When I push this button when the computer is off, my computer will turn
on,
show the compaq logo, show a resuming windows bar at the bottom of the
page,
and then show up with the "QuickPlay" menu. This has four options: DVD,
music, some other option, and the return to windows button. If I click the
windows option, it shows the Windows XP logo but shows shows the
hibernating
bar and precedes to hibernation. When I press a key on my keyboard the
computer comes out of hibernation, but again, shows the black screen and
blinking underscore.

I don't have a windows xp CD. What can I do? Please help. I only have my
laptop and all my files are on that computer and I need it for school!
(I'm
at the library right now.)

Thanks
