I have a Cefni desktop pc with windows xp home edition, I was given this pc 2 months ago for free its ok and does what I want I carnet give you anymore info on it as this is all I no.
The pc as been working great since I had it then today I turned it on and my problems started.
When I turn it on it gets too the start up page and the welcome message comes on I click on to the box owner [this only user on it] and the pc sticks freezes, and the egg timer comes up and don't disappear the pc just sticks. I have switched it on and off many times to no affect its just freezes. So go to the boot menu I thought, here we have another problem as I carnet find it. I have tried all the normal ways delete,f8 f12 etc on start up but nothing will get me into the boot menu.
Now im newish to fixing pcs well this be my first try, I want to have a go at fixing this myself to help me understand pc a bit Betterton and I don't have any boot, fix cads.
So anyone have a clue were do I start from

If you are using a USB keyboard, maybe try and get hold of a PS2 keyboard and try booting into safe mode with your F8 key again. If you can get in to safe mode try a system restore point to a date prior to your problem. If it is already using a PS2 keyboard, try and borrow a replacement to eliminate it.

You can also check in your bios...set "USB Keyboard Support" to "enabled" or "Bios".
