Vista used to start, tried restore, recovery, startup repair doesn't solve anything

Since about three weeks ago, I got serious starting problems. I restarted my computer and after the first HP screen where it usually starts loading windows, it went to a black screen. I turned my computer restarted offand and he did it again and again until finally he did something different, he went to the Startup Repair which I had never seen before. After doing this it says restart, I clicked on it and went back to the black screen. So finally I just decided to make a full recovery.  After the recovery of the first time, he did the same thing with the black screen. He went to the Startup Repair, but this time has given me the ability to send or not to send so I went to advanced options where I could retrieve, drive recovery, restoration, command prompt, test for diagnosis of memory, etc.. I chose the memory diagnostic test. It restarted after about 45 minutes and it worked. I was restarted for about a week. Then again of course in the beginning. I tried pressing F10 and go to the BIOS where I did a test of memory and a hard drive that has failed. I tried a recovery once again, and it's the same thing. Now, it takes about 10 times to begin to get the Startup Repair go. Pressing F11 to retrieve said Windows loading files as it usually does, but then won't go to the repair screen, it goes to the black screen. One thing that seemed similar in all cases, it is that I installed Service Pack 2. Im not sure if this is the reason. I also did some research and a ton of people have this same problem only about a year and a half after the purchase of their computer. I think it's ridiculous. Many people have had this problem when Windows Update arrives, and the last time this happened when Windows Update has occurred.  Something is not seriously and I have no idea how to solve this problem.  Microsoft should give Windows 7 for free to all buyers of Vista that are very disappointed with it.

Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time before the problem started (if you've already tried this, skip this part).  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair (I know you tried, but try again) to boot from the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc (or one you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking) or use command from the disk.  Then we will check some of your system files:

Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator (ignore it's using the disc).

Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well, it is completed with no corruption that he couldn't fix (if such try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228 or corruption several post here and post the results back here.)

While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.  Chances are good that you won't be able to do this if you cannot boot normally into the system.

If this does not work, I'm aftraid the only option is a clean install.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD.  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Once this is done, you can do a clean install or by using the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc or the recovery disk with the recovery Partition (whatever the process is dictated by your computer manufacturer).  Do a clean install follow these steps: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp (taking into account the necessary adaptations by the procedures of the manufacturer of your computer).  Then you will need to re - install all your programs, reset all preferences, reconfigure your network settings and e-mail, restore your backup of the data, run Windows Update with possibly close to 100 updates pending...

I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem - if not, then it is probably some sort of hardware problem. Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

Good luck!

  • Vista will not start and the recovery disc does not

    Hey all,.

    Vista has just started to freeze during the boot at crcdisk.sys today

    I tried using the recovery disk, but it won't work, says the root prolem is corrupt system or something like that.

    If you need more information please ask!

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Yes, it would make a difference to what is the Startup Repair tool. Vista startup repair only works on his own Bootstrapper. You replaced one with GRUB, so you should use the ' nix tools to fix it. However, you indicated earlier that the problem occurs after the start load Vista, so this isn't something the Startup Repair tool will correct and is not likely to solve your problem.

    Your running recovery disk will also likely be wipe the GRUB bootloader, but you don't really have a lot of options when it comes to a corrupted installation. If you are unable to correct the problem to running chkdsk, then it is unlikely that any other action will work. You're stuck with the relocation.

  • Computer freezing and startup repair does not solve the problem.

    fix my computer when windows start dump then launch startup, but does not solve the problem. Can you help me solve the problem

    Hi Wwiese,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from the description of the problem, the computer freezes in the commissioning on the Windows 7 computer.

    I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

    1 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    2. are you able to boot into office?

    3. you receive an error message/code?

    I suggest you try these methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download drivers software updated for this particular device.

    Method 2

    Try to start in last good known Configuration and see if you can start very well.

    Using the last good known Configuration

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/using-last-known-good-configuration

    Method 3

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

    Step 1

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2

    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 4

    If the problem persists, I suggest you perform a startup repair and check if it makes a difference.

    Hi scoobydoochick,

    1. what recovery disc do you have?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

    Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

    Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

    Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

  • All sorts of codes BSOD at startup; all attempts to use the Safe Mode and futile startup repair.

    So last night; surfing on the internet, the computer decided to randomly restart on me.

    When it starts up; I get a BSOD code 0 x 24.
    After that, he had a different error code. 0 x 50

    When trying to startup repair, I get the error codes.

    It might have to do with the filesystem.

    Can someone help me out here?
    Oh, and Safe Mode does not work as well.

    (and if anyone can give a solution which is not formatting the hard drive? I have games I want to spend by downloading and playing over there where I left)

    Have you tried to boot from the DVD win 7?  I suspect you'll have to do a stable repair to it even when

  • BSOD: "a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly released or ended." Startup Repair does not solve the problem-

    I recently had a serious viral infection on my laptop Windows Vista SP2 Gateway.  After you run the antivirus AVG cleaner, who seemed to have had to quarantine or delete some files infected, System I couldn't Boot Windows to the top on this machine - even in the (all flavors of) Safe Mode.  When you try to start, I'd get

    a Blue Screen of Death with the msg of error in the title of this thread.  Before turning off the crash dump, the system indicated:

    ' * STOP: 0X000000F4 (0 X 00000003 0X85F22848 0X85F22694 0X82A26AB0).

    Other messages in the BSOD said I might have new HW causing the BSOD (I did not - but nevertheless I removed all external HW and tried again - got the same result).

    So one of the first things I did was to capture the startup log, so I could see what the pilots were hang up / does not.  Here's what I found:

    (1) the last driver to load (as indicated in ntbtlog.txt) was monitor.sys.  My understanding is that this indicates that when this driver loaded, the system crashed at this place - suggesting that there is 'something wrong' with this particular driver.  However, it seems likely, that I can use the screen/monitor (built-in) to the laptop without problem.

    (2) several drivers do NOT load: they are:

    1 NDProxy.sys

    2 Kvhfjgcv.sys

    3 Kbdhid.sys

    4 i8042prt.sys

    QUESTION 1: "Monitor.sys" being the last driver to load, should I assume this is the driver the system hung up on (that is, which caused the BSOD)?  And if so, that means I should replace this driver?  If so, how do I do that (how and where can I get a copy of 'Clean/good' of monitor.sys)?

    QUESTION 2: Is it possible to get "good versions" of drivers I listed above which was NOT loaded (I guess they didn't not load because they have been corrupted by the virus or the virus cleaner, or maybe just deleted by the virus cleaner because they were infected) to put into the Windows\System32\Drivers folder?  How?

    Here are the steps I took to try to fix the "corrupt system".  I inserted my Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive and loaded Windows using that.

    Once that came, I then tried the following (and here are the results for all that I tried):

    (1) I selected the option "Repair", then choose "Microsoft Windows Vista" OS and press "next".  He tried to 'attempt to repair' for 15 minutes about, then finally stopped with a message: "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically.  "Details of problem indicated: (a) the problem event name: StartupRepairV2." Signature 01: ExternalMedia; Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000; Signed 03:6; Signature 04:131074. Signature 05: 0xF4; Signature 06: 0xF4; Signature 07:0; Signature 08:2; Signature 09: WrpRepair; Signature 10:5; OS version: 6.0.60090.2.0.0.256.1

    (2) I selected the option 'display diagnostic and repair details '.  He said that all tests successful (error code = 0 x 0), and

    then indicated the 'cause': ' unknown error checking: bugcheck f4, parameters = 0x3, 0x88607b80, 0x88607ccc, 0x82a78ab0. "

    - AND -

    Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files.  Result: failed.  Error code = 0 x 5

    (3) I checked that the restoration of the system, and even though I know I had some Restore Points created at the origin of this system, System Restore has indicated that there was no restore points to go back, (leading me to believe that the virus must have killed)

    (4) so I chose the selection "Command Prompt", which opens by default "X:\Sources >".  I'm in C: and then typed: "sfc/scannow".  The system has responded with the following messages:

    "Start system analysis.  This process will take time. " follow up 30 seconds later by the message:

    "Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation".

    Seems odd. Startup Repair should have solved the problem.

    Have you tried new reboot running?

    Give it a shot...

    Any chance that you have a "backup computer?

    Try to do a full restore of the PC.

    See how it goes...

    Method 1: Startup Repair is a Windows Recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might be preventing Windows to start. Startup Repair scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly

    Method 2:
    Windows Vista or Windows 7 unbootable, and the Startup Repair tool does not resolve the problem:

  • Windows Vista does not start. The BIOS loads then black screen with blinking cursor.

    So my friend told me that his PC was not working. When you press the power button on the pc, the screen of the Dell BIOS load but instead of starting then Vista it shows just a black screen with a blinking cursor. Still, the BIOS detects the hard drive and has the ability to boot from it, but it just that again. I tried the recovery disk windows, and when you click on the "Repair" option when it loaded usually shows a list of the operating systems installed and their hard drives. There is no listed on the Vista recovery cd. Manually, you can browse and find the partition from the OS than its sequel, and clearly see the windows directories. It all simply not start, nor let the recovery disk to fix it because the operating system is not detected. I plugged the hard drive on my pc with the same results. Then I started my Win 7 and Explorer, disks and partitions are once again still visible with the appropriate directories. Windows says the drive is working properly and has no file system errors. When viewing in the hardware Manager, he says it's healthy (primary, active partition). My hard drive working correctly says healthy (boot, pagefile, primary partition). Why used it boot and why the recovery disk not recognize the operating system and how can I fix it or do I need to format and reinstall vista?
