Windows won't boot and either hangs or loops
Hello. I have a Dell Alienware M14X Laptop running on Windows 7 Home Premium x64, and when I try to start my computer I get to the “Windows Error Recovery” screen with the options “Launch Startup Repair” and “Start Windows Normally”.
When I choose to start normally it just loops back to the Windows Error Recovery Screen. I’ve tried both the Launch Startup Repair option and using my System Repair/Installation disk and it they both get to the point where there it’s just the Windows wallpaper and mouse cursor, but it won’t load beyond that and is stuck that way with no menus.
I also tried to reformat my hard drive with my installation disk, but when it gets to the “Setup is starting...” screen it stays there and never loads.
When I try to run safe mode, it starts loading some files and then stops loading files for a few minutes and then it just loops back to the Windows Error Recovery screen.
So basically, pretty much everything I try won't load properly.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
