    Windows 7 won't boot/startup - just locks up or resets


    Hello,

    I cant get my Windows 7 to start up. I'm not sure if this is my PCs problem or windows. It starts up, gives me the ASUS screen where I can go into setup (though messing around in it hasn't helped yet). otherwise it goes to black screen where I can choose start windows normally or launch troubleshoot. if I pick start normally the windows logo comes up, loads, tursn black, and resets the PC. If I choose troubleshoot, it goes black for several minutes, shows the Windows 7 BG, and just gets stuck there. I'm not sure what to try to get it to boot.

    Hello XZERO1134.

    Do you have a windows installer disk or a recovery disk? You need any one of those.

    Run Startup Repair (step by step, as mentioned in the resulting page) for three separate times, with restarts between every single run, and see if it works or not.

Hi guys , I have a problem with the screen resolution. I set my resolution to optimal that is 1900x1200. Windows starts up with this resolution but after a couple of seconds it resets to 1024x768.
