Have an HP desktop I bought at Best Buy for about $600.
Warranty just expired.
Computer won't even boot to safe mode...no known reason why it won't...didn't do anything different...just one day went down.
All the data has been retrieved so all good there.
I know the motherboard model that is currently in the unit and I can get a replacement to see if that does the trick - will cost about $100.

Would you give the $100 toward the MB or toward another computer?
