BSOD after power outage, won't boot
Hello,
I am having an issue with booting up my custom built desktop, but first I'll give a chain of events to help you better understand the situation.
I was surfing the web, when a power outage hit for about 15 seconds or so. Everything is plugged into a surge strip built for a computer. When the power came back on, I waited for a bit, then powered it up. The post logo and whatnot appeared as usual, and prompted the unexpected shutdown screen, I selected normal startup. It went to the win 7 startup with the "fireflies", but right when the fireflies showed up, it freezed for a quarter second and blue screened, then auto restarted. Ran startup repair after the reboot, and it said it could not repair the computer automatically, article 1 in the next post. Did a memory diagnostic, no problems. Tried to boot in safe mode, same BSOD, the safe mode stopping at a certain file immediately before blue screening, as shown in article 4 below. Then tried a restore point, tried 6 different restore points, and none of them worked giving an error code shown in article 3. I stopped the auto reset, to catch the blue screen code, and it is article 2 below.
I wanted to see if anyone had any insight to my situation. I can reformat and start fresh, but want to see if there is a better way. A surge strip should protect against a power outage, right? Never had a problem on a force shut down before. If anyone can help me figure out how to get my machine starting again, I would be eternally grateful.
Sincerely, Brian
p.s. boot is to the SSD, where the OS is located in the system specs below
