Random Crash & Nothing Will Fix
Today I was using my computer like normal, playing a game of Left 4 Dead 2 when all of a sudden the whole computer completely locked up. I turned it off and turned it back on not thinking much of it but when I tried to boot Windows 7 it would say Windows Starting with the logo, but then just restart.
I figured that perhaps my hard drive had died, but I later found that I could boot in Safe Mode just fine. I have tried Startup Recovery which said it couldn't fix the problem, I have run System restore which only gives me a very limited date range, and that often says it couldn't restore the system. I ran chkdsk as well and nothing has helped. Since it works in Safe Mode I figured that it may be a program that may be causing the problem when it boots so set MSCONFIG so that only the basics should load on startup yet nothing changed!
I have no Windows 7 CD because I got it at a very low-price through Microsoft for being a student. They gave me a digital download but I had also checked the option for having a disk mailed to me but they never ended up sending it! So I cannot use my disk to try and repair my operating system.
Anyone have any idea as to what the heck is wrong with my computer and what I could possibly do?
