When I try to update my ipod touch to 4.2 os, my Windows Vista HP computer turns off completely. There is no BSOD, just black and silence.

I plug the ipod into the usb port, turn on your computer, Itunes starts and I start the update.  The backup process begins and continues for about 15-20 minutes, and then the computer shuts off just without warning, error or BSOD messages.  I tried all USB ports, two different cables and even my Iphone and same thing happens every time.  What is the problem?

    Why you want to reinstall your PC? It could be that you don't need to reinstall Windows, and solutions you could solve, which is recommended.

    However, if you want to reinstall your Windows, it's NOT F8, F8 key belongs to Windows and he'll fix the problems. To reinstall Windows, you must use differently for Dell steps:

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

    Here are answers to some common questions about startup repair.

    What is the Startup Repair?

    Startup Repair is a Windows Recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged, that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

    If you experience problems when you attempt to run the Startup Repair tool, or if your computer does not have the Startup Repair, your computer manufacturer can have customized or replaced the tool. See the documentation provided with your computer or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

    How to use Startup Repair?

    Startup Repair is located on the System Recovery Options menu, which is on the Windows installation disc. Startup Repair can also be installed on your drive hard if your computer has preinstalled recovery options. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

    If you have a Windows installation disc:

    1. Insert the installation disc. If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.

    2. Restart your computer.

      Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    3. Choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    4. Click on repair your computer.

    5. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

    If your computer has preinstalled recovery options:

    1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

      Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again.

      • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

    3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight repair your computer and press ENTER.

    4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    5. Select a user name and password, and then click OK.

    6. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

    Are there problems Startup Repair cannot fix?

    Startup Repair cannot fix hardware failures or certain types of virus attacks. It is not a backup tool, so it cannot help you recover personal files, such as photos or documents. To help protect your computer, back up your system and your files regularly. For more information, search for "backup" in Help and Support.

    What happens if startup repair is unable to solve my problem?

    If the repairs are not successful, you will see a summary of the problem and links to contact for support information. Your computer manufacturer may include additional support information.

    See also

    Also on the screen where you choose the Startup Repair, you can also choose command prompt. Type this (it's a single line)

    Tracking Add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "Userinit" / t Reg_Sz/d "c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe".
