Win7 startup problem!!!

Hi,

I have a problem starting my laptop (it's toshiba satelite, 2Gb RAM, Win7 ultimate edition)

So... I press the star button, the PC turns on and when it gets on the first screen (where it usually shows the computer provider, and from where I can access the BOOT MENU) it stops. Total block: I can't access the boot menu, I tried to load the win7 disc but that doesn't work ether. Any ideas????

Thanks a lot!

Unplug any devices attached.

Try tapping the F8 key at bootup, see if Repair console is on Tools Menu. If so, access it to run Startup Repair which should automate System Restore. If not, run it from list.

If you cannot boot the Win7 DVD to access Repair console, or even the F8 tools menu, then you have hardware problems.

Try tapping the key given to enter BIOS setup to reset the CMOS: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS If you can't access the BIOS then you may have a mobo problem. Try pulling the CMOS battery as shown in tutorial.

Test your RAM with memtest86 CD which will autostart for 5-6 passes: RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Test your HD using maker's diagnostic/repair CD extended scan: HD Diagnostic

Hi and thank you for both your answers.

I all ready tried to access the boot up menu and the system restore but I can't. I test the RAM on a friends PC and it works, so it's not that. I think the problem is the hard disc, but i don't know how to test it, so I will probably give the PC to repair service.

Thanks for the suggestions! :)
