Home build crash
My son called last night to ask how to get his $3K build up and running again as after some Windows updates on the 16th it boots up to the post / the Windows "lights" then very briefly to a blue screen with white lettering - far too brief to read and back to the post then to start up repair.
Now the start up repair does nothing I have tried the advanced options system image / memory diags / system restore / command prompt that tels me that msconfig is not a operable program or batch file (there is an error - 0x8000ffff). I cannot reinstall Windows using the OEM disk in fact I cannot get past that system repair option. I cannot get it to safe mode and am left with a totally bogged machine.
Specs Gigabyte 890FX board AMD 1090 CPU (water cooled) 4GB G Skill 1333Mhz RAM very large Radeon GPU Windows 7 Ultimate - 64bit - sorry but with out pulling the whole thing apart that is the most I know (sons; away at the moment but will get the exact specs later tonight)
What bothers me is that it will not boot off the OEM disk.
