    Windows 7 stuck on reboot loop just before login


    OK so the problem started when I was playing a game and it crashed on a loading screen, I then could only boot into windows extremely slowly so I knew something was wrong.

    Since then I have booted into safe mode and done a virus check and it found nothing, I had then done a start up repair multiple times and for one reason or another the system would then reboot just as the login screen is loading.

    I have recently de fragmented the drive externally and run a slow disk check which found nothing. I've launched start up repair again which says it's unable to fix the problem and I can't boot into safe mode because it'll reboot.

    I should also mention I was having problems with the drive a few weeks ago where I was getting different error messages before booting but I managed to sort that out. If a solution can't be found it would be safe to say the drive is failing.

    Here is the bsod when I disabled automatic rebooting along with the startup repair error.

    STOP: c00002e3 Security Accounts Manager initialization failed because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning (presumably the hard drive)

    Error Status: 0xc0000001. Please click ok to shutdown this system and reboot into safe mode, check the event log for more detailed information.


    Problem event name: startuprepairoffline
    problem event signature 1: 6.1.7600.16385
    problem event signature 2: 6.1.7600.16385
    problem event signature 3: unknown
    problem event signature 4: 21200656
    problem event signature 5: autofailover
    problem event signature 6: 2
    problem event signature 7: corruptvolume

    specs:
    intel dual core 2.2 @2.7
    msi p965 neo mobo
    1tb samsung HD
    4gb ram
    XFX GTS 250

    Any help would be seriously appreciated.

    OK I tried the system file checker which found nothing wrong, and I made a bootable USB drive of the samsung utility which ironically gets stuck in a loop that says automatic boot in 10 9... I tried re-download the iso and making it bootable again but got the same problem
