I run windows 7 on a toshiba sat c655. I am stuck in a start-up loop. I have been trying to press f8 but so far no joy. No clue what caused it, been running fine all day i just picked up may laptop, opened it up and it was stuck in the loop.
Can you explain what you mean by "start-up loop", at what point is the PC getting too? Does it continuosly shut-down?
it shows the toshiba screen where it gives you the option of f2 or 12, then it goes to the screen with just a cursor in the top left and then goes blank and back to the toshiba screen...
the only way i know to start in safe-mode is during startup when it gives you the option or by restarting in safe mode, i cant get it to get past that toshiba, cursor loop
so im pretty stuck
nah it came on the laptop
i tried rearranging the order the system boots up in since i can get to that menu, i put everything ahead of the hdd to see if maybe id have time to hit f8, no dice.
In the manual that came with the laptop, there might be reference to what to hit to recover your system. Can you check that out?
