Ok, it sounds like it it could
(a) windows has shat istelf.
(b) your hard drive has shat itself
(b) part a
your hard drive connection is loose, I suggest opening the box up and making sure the power and data cables are attached correctly.
(c) your ram has shat itself (this is a common problem when you shock it with static electricity)
(c) part a
your ram needs to be blown the dust from it, N64 style.
(d) a disk check error?? is there a disk in the A drive you moron?

Get a boot disk and try that. Then re-install windows.

First rule is to never clean the comp when it's on...
Anyway, what are the steps it takes to boot up, and what is the operating system? (M.E., 2000, XP? 98 possibly?)
Does it get to that screen, then suddenly blank out or something?
