    BSOD on startup, safe mode too


    I have recently upgraded my pc and it was working fine, then this morning I turned it on, tried to log on and it crashed.
    When I tried to log on again the BSOD popped up.
    I tried to start it up in safe mode, it worked the first time then when I tried again it popped up with the BSOD.
    I can't get the the info from the crash because it wont let me log on.
    Any advice on this would be useful as I have run a memory diagnostic which came back as nothing wrong, and I have tried booting from my windows 7 disk with the BSOD replacing the logon screen.
    After waiting a while, the BSOD has stopped appearing, instead it get onto my user and came up with error messages saying nothing could be loaded except my background, i tried again and it wouldn't even log in.

    Sounds like malware. Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta | Microsoft Connect and Index of /rescue_cd are good places to start (they do not require Windows, just a CD or USB to boot from).

    Were you able to resolve the problem? Did you run the scans for malware?
