Booting Problem

Hi, I have a LG x110 notebook with 160gb HD, 1GB ram, 1.6ghz running windows XP.
I was watching youtube when the computer seemed to get stuck. As I couldn't stop it I switched it off. Now when I start the computer it says windows did not start succesfully. I tried starting in Safe mode and last good configaration. The LG opening screen will come up and then the wondows XP opening screen then the screen turns blue with writing for a second before the same message comes up again. HELP PLEASE

If you can't read the bluescreen, take a picture of it. That's going to be your best clue - what it says.

However, if I had to GUESS what happened from your description, your hard drive is probably failing.

Are you having problem with other websites as well?

I don't think its a hardware issue.
