Firstly there is not a power cut and it has power.

My laptop has been creaking for a couple of weeks and I think* everything important is backed up so not the end of the world.

During the week / when it was last on I ran the native windows disk cleanup which freed up many GB which is/seemed good.

Sadly when I came to start it today to upload my garmin it won't load windows.

On startup it just loops through startup repair, not identify the problem and then shut down.

I've done everything thing I know to fix it (turn of and on again & tap side of monitor saying 'come on') but strangely neither seem to work.

Is there an easy fix to get it working today? I have someone coming round for dinner tonight and would like the option to put a film on after dinner (hopefully in background!) On the projector...

What make is it?
A lot have a recovery partition enabling you to boot to various repair options, it's usually launched by tapping one of the 'F' keys during start up, often F10 or F12
