Instant BSOD: Can not boot from HDD: Command Prompt not Helping
Hey everyone,
This is my first post here, but I have found a wealth of info over the past few days from here. Than you for that. However, my problem doesn't end where others say "SOLVED".
The jist of it:
My computer is stuck in a loop. Start windows normally, safe start, neither works. The start gets interrupted by the BSOD and the process starts over. In order for me to get to System Recovery, I have to boot from my USB Flash. I have ran the repair over and over, easily over 20 times, with no result. I would get BSOD from memory issues every second or so repair attempt. I performed the memory test (memtest86) and have found that one of my memory sticks is faulty. Now there is no BSOD from the repair. I am only running on one 4gb 1866 stick now.
So then I started using the command prompt, particularly the chkdsk d:/f and I always get the same result now. I figured that that route was a dead end. I went back to the safe start (from the HDD) to see where it stops loading. I tried renaming as well as deleted the DRIVER is stops at, but with no luck.
I just purchased this to take my files off, but I won't get it till maybe Wednesday or Thursday if I'm lucky.
