Hello,
I experienced 2 power outages while the computer was on, and since then, when it turns on, the screen is black. There's just a small message at the beginning that says "Windows is starting, press F8 for problem resolution and advanced startup options."
It's an old computer; I don't know if I can mention the brand.
Someone told me that it might be related to the hard drive, but I would like to get the opinion of someone who knows about these things.
THANK YOU.

Hello......
If it is, as I assume, a tower, remove the right side when looking at it from the back... you will see a battery clipped against the motherboard, often a CR2032 button cell, with the + visible and, therefore, the - against the motherboard... remove this battery for 20 minutes, put it back, and restart, then let me know.....
Best regards,
@+
