3. No beeps...just the sound of computer fan running..

Dec 2014

Only had a Black Screen with no way to start in "Safe Mode" and tapping F8 didn't work.

That's why I thought something really bad happened with my processor.

Yes...the new Computer with Win 7 is an HP like my current Dead one...and so I was hoping that my hard drive could be recovered by a Tech Group our company uses to retrieve. But, wasn't sure if my Hard Drive survived whatever happened. I'm not very computer savvy about going into my Processor to check things out

Thanks for your advice about the ATA to USB that hopefully the Tech Person I connect to can save all my files!
