    freezing at start up


    Windows 7 freezes at start up. When i can get into system repair it asks for my hard disk drivers. Won't boot from DVD or USB. From my research I think it might be motherboard, Asus P5P800.......but not sure?

    Welcome to SF!

    First, how long has this been going on?

    It almost sounds as if this may be a hard drive problem, though it's just a bit early. Try testing your drive with the bootable version of SeaTools: | Seagate

    Now where does this problem occur? What stage in bootup?

    I ran windows 7 for about 2 months then it froze and now won't boot, it did boot once but shut down after 30 min. I took the HD and hooked it to my laptop and all the files are there

    and I also hooked a new HD to my PC.....same problem won't boot.
    When I try to boot from USB I get the following
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc000000e
    Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

    Is there any OS installed on the USB drive? If not, that explains the error.

    Try creating a repair disc, or USB drive. If you have a Windows 7 DVD, you can use that instead.

    System Repair Disc - Create

    Boot from that, and try running a startup repair.

    Try backing up the data on your hard drive, and then doing a custom install.
