#1- Hi, really hope someone will be able to help.
#2- Wasnt quite sure where to put this so i guess here will do (for now).
Here are the problems.
I think im currently stuck in a Win7x64 repair loop. Had a BSOD three nights ago and upon reboot it gave me the option to Launch Repairs or Start Normally.
If i Launch Repairs i get a single loading files bar then it hangs.
If i Start Normally i get to Starting Windows and reboots back to the above choice.
Ive tried the various F8 options and either they give me the same results as above or a different BSOD each time.
The Win7 repair disk gets two loading bars then the screen goes to black and stays there.
Since its a relatively recent clean Win7x64 install i figured id just reinstall the thing and be done with it.
And nope, i get as far as loading files (one full bar) and thats it. I had the same issue when i installed it last time. But whatever BIOS combo tweak i did to get it to work then, doesnt seem to want to now.
I then tried to reinstall Vistax32, which ive had for over 4 years, without issues or a single BSOD and it does the same.
XPx32 Installs without a hiccup however, or it did 2 weeks ago when i had trouble installing Win7x64.
Right now, im posting this through Hirens Boot CDs miniXP emulation.
Ive done various hardware tests (HDD and memtest) and everything passes.
So the question is, what can i try now?
