    PC won't boot any way out ???

    Its happened in the past , never as bad as this.
    Started as it did last timne a while back were incessanht "Not responding" got so bad I had to press power button and it didn't have the modern version of the hour glass - the turning circle. I left it and went back an hour later still just the Gigabyte screen no turning circle. Then after many attempts it actually appeared - 12-15 minutes later it seemed to have went to pass screen - only the screen was black, but the mouse cursor was moving. Gave it time - nothing
    Have tried several times since and nothing.
    Is there a way to get the damn thing to boot ?

    Does that computer have a CD/DVD drive or a USB port? You could try booting a live Linux CS/DVD or flash drive to see if that works. If it does, I would suspect a hard drive issue. If not, then it might be a motherboard problem.

    ere are some steps you can try:

    Unplug the power cord, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
    As soon as you turn it on, start tapping the F8 key. If you see the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode.
    Boot from a Windows installation media, open Command Prompt, and run sfc /scannow.
    Make sure all internal components are securely connected.
    Change the boot order in your BIOS settings to prioritize your hard drive.

    What do you mean if? There will always be such an option or something similar
