    My computer is not booting up windows, I'm not sure how to describe the beep messages it was giving me do I took a video so you can see for yourself. The video of my problem is at Problem I'm having with Asus G53JW - YouTube.

    I think the computer is about two years old now but I've never had any problems with it and it seems to have just randomly stopped working. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

    Possibly a bad HDD. Have you contacted Asus about this?

    No not yet, it's weird because it was running fine yesterday.

    Is it possible the computer was bumped and something got disconnected? It seems to be detecting that stuff is there its just not able to boot from it.

    It's possible, so far your monitor is working so it could be a corrupted hdd if it's a software glitch, and if it is, could u try going into your bios and having your cd/dvd/ as 1st boot and see if you can reinstall windows. Only do this though as a last resort if you don't mind losing all your data and fresh installing windows.

    It could also be a bad mobo but im guessing a bad hdd via hardware failure or software error.
