Blue Screen of Death loop, won't boot from CD or USB
I'm new to the forum so if I have put this in the wrong place let me know.
I can't get the dump files as I can't log on.
My problem is that, for some reason, after my laptop lost charge, once I turned it back on it prompted me to boot it in safe mode as there was an error. I booted in safe mode and a blue screen appeared but flashed too quickly to see what anything said, and restarted my laptop. I have tried every other option and this happens over and over, just a blue screen then a restart.
After looking on various websites I downloaded an .iso file that contains Windows 7 32-bit Recovery files so that I can access System Restore and use my backup files (if that makes sense). I opened the .iso file using WinRar and copied the files to a CD.
Like everywhere I have looked says, I have changed the order on the BIOS so that it boots from the CD. When I do this it simply just says press any key or whatever, I do that, and it just restarts.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5532 and is 32-bit. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.
Any suggestions on how to boot from the CD, or any other suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks.
