Windows Wont boot properly

hey guys,
all this morning i was using my pc fine.
but i went back to turn it on now….it starts to boot fine…it shows the windows loading screen..then “BAM” restarts….it constantly restarts…….
so i thought to myself maybe if i boot into SAFE mode i can check if there is something wrong…but then BAM it happens again!.
what is happening and how can i fix it….(i do not have any viruses last thing i did on my pc was check for viruses)…
– thanks,
Answer #1
Have you tried loading Windows using the “Last know configuration option”? Also, get Hiren’s BootCD and boot from it. test your system and try the different tools in order to attempt to fix the problem. If it doesn’t help then insert your Windows disk and boot from it. Go to your recovery console and type in “sfc /scannow”. This will find malfunctioning system files and replace them. Also, you might want to try installing a fresh copy of Windows using a clean install. Good luck mate ^_^

Yes indeed, when I wrote my first comment in the thread I clearly wrote “sfc /scannow” with a space. Also mate, did you try the diagnostic tools that I mentioned? The ones on Hirens’s BootCD? Good luck mate ^_^
