BSOD playing Total War: Shogun 2

Hello People of Seven Forums,

Hopefully someone could help me with this:

While I was playing Shogun 2 a wild blue screen appeared after a minute of buzzing noise like in a freeze.
I don't have much information about the blue screen since I looked at it for a couple of seconds and then tried to restart windows again.

screen says ''Starting Windows'', but with no logo.
After that it says ''Windows is loading files'' and Startup Repair appears.
after that ''Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically''

I tried System Restore, but that did not work.
Safe mode doesn't work either.

System Specs(as far as i know, because i cant look into them anymore):
Asus K53S
Geforce GT 540M 2GB
Intel Core i7-2630QM, 2.0GHz
Memory 4 GB
WIN 7 Premium
HDD 500 GB
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never had this before. My Notebook is a half year old, never had any problems with it.
Is there a way to fix this without losing to much files? I've got a lot of important work saved on my laptop.

HHopefully someone could help me with this

Please start with these free diagnostics: Initial Hardware Diagnostics

There are ways, but it's beyond my ability to tell you how to do it.
I use the USB boot thingie from here: YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux
and then I upload the .iso file to the USB stick and let it boot it from the thingie above.

You can backup your files to an external drive (or to another partition) and reinstall Windows.
But, if the hard drive is bad, you'll just be wasting your time.

Maybe you can borrow a computer to burn a hard drive test onto a CD?

The short test isn't very accurate - while the long test is. I strongly suspect that the hard drive is bad and that you'll have to replace it before continueing.

Good luck!
