Help I think I really stuffed my computer

[Iamdan]

Until yesterday I knew next to nothing about the kernel file. I read up about it, and tried to run the kernel file just to see what it opened. Of course, it didn't like that and gave me an error. I thought nothing of it. This morning, my computer froze when I was downloading a 100mb file, at the same time refreshing a counterstrike source server waiting for a lower ping.

 

 

 

After I restarted, my computer wouldn't boot up for some reason. Sometimes it would get to the loading windows screen, sometimes it would freeze on the "boot windows up normally/safe mode screen after I had picked an option.

 

 

 

 

 

I tried to boot up with ubuntu, which wouldn't work.

 

 

 

Then one of the times I tried booting up in safe mode, right before it froze again, the path of my kernel file came up. It was then that I finally realized what had happened.

 

 

 

I then tried booting from my xp cd, which overwrites the kernel file to the computer.

 

 

 

My computer then booted up fine, but I still don't understand the whole thing.

 

How could the kernel file get corrupted just from me trying to run it?

 

 

 

 

 

UPDATE: My computer now does not boot up, I turn it on and I don't even get the motherboard logo screen, so I don't think it is anything to do with software or my hard drives.

I fixed it. Thanks for all the help guys.

Wait- you updated the thread, is there still a problem, or is it all fixed?

[Iamdan]

I updated it because the problem got worse, then I fixed it later.
