Hello,

I need some help. As I was playing Battlefield 3 my computer shut down... logging off all of my program one by one and than shutting down windows it self. When I started it back up it gets past Asus BIOS screen and sits at a black screen with a flashing dash in the upper left corner.

I tried using the windows 7 install disk that I made using one of the pin topics. When I load that up it gives me the options to restore, check for problems, check memory. I tried all of them. The check for problems doesn't work, it says "If you have recently attached a device to this computer such as camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer." nothing is attached besides the power. Doing a system restore to the furtherest settings 11/22/2012 does nothing after it's completed to help with the problem. I do not have a "system image recovery" and the window memory diagnostic doesn't do anything after it ask to restart...

I'm lost. Can I reinstall windows? and how?
