Inspiron 1545- BS w/ dove/ olive branch & Startup Repair DELL Inspiron 1545 running Windows 7
Purchased Aug 2009
I know there is spyware virus, when my wife logged on to pay bills some very suspicious pop-ups appeared asking for ss #, etc.
The real problems began when I tried to load Avast. Now when I turn it on it goes to a blue screen with the white bird and green olive branch. There is nothing to click on. I tried pressing F8 while turning on and I get to the black screen where I can choose safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc..It doesn't matter what I choose, it always ends up at the same blue screen with the bird.
I can't even see the system info to see if it's 32 or 64 bit. I know I need this to see which Windows Restore disk to create. I'm thinking it's 64 but not 100% sure.
When it's been sitting awhile, a dialog box comes open. I took a pic of it: | My System Specs |

Press F8 at power on (POST) and you should get the options for the Dell recovery partition (PC Restore) and that will allow you to restore the PC to the original factory condition (assuming the recovery partition is not corrupted or has been deleted).
If you can't restore with the Dell recovery partition, you will have to reinstall with a Win 7 disc (and drivers). If this is the case, you can download Windows 7 and create an iso DVD, the same version that you have (probably 64), and use the Dell supplied Win 7 Product Key (tag is usually in the battery compartment) to install. You can access needed driver downloads (and you need at least the Dell supplied sound driver, if not more) from www.support.dell.com using your service tag number. Windows 7 download
If you want Dell discs, you can request a set of discs (Windows 7 and the Dell drivers and utilities disc) from Dell HERE You will need to be the registered with Dell owner and have the service tag number. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number My Own Build OS Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7 3770 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Memory 16GB GSkill Ripsaw F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL Graphics Card Sapphire HD7770 Sound Card RealTek Monitor(s) Displays Viewsonic VA2448 Series 24" LED Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Kensington wired Mouse Logitech Wireless PSU Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M Modular Case Coolermaster HAF XM Cooling Corsair H80 Liquid cooling with aftermarket Nexus quiet fans Hard Drives 240GB Intel 520 SSD for Win 7
