i can't get windows to start, when i switch the pc on it comes on for a few seconds switches off for a few seconds then boots up again but this time it beeps 1 long beep 3 short 3 more short and then 1 more long then the pc seems to stay on but nothing happens, blank screen.it won't start in safe mode either.the last thing i did was a defrag but it said there wasn't enough contiginous space to move some of the defragmented files so it scheduled to do it at next start up, thats when the problems started.

thanks I tried all of the suggestions but it still doesn't work it says the burn was successful but the disk is still blank any other ideas?
