    PC Refuses to boot Windows 7, quick bluescreen


    My Windows 7 PC will not boot the OS, and gives me a brief bluescreen before restarting and repeating the cycle. If I launch startup repair it loads for a while and then asks if I want startup repair again. If I choose to load Windows 7 after this, it does the bluescreen, but if I choose recovery or whatever it simply loads with a pixelated windows loading bar, and after this it's a large, pixelated (Assumedly low resolution) cursor that I can only move around with my mousepad, on a black background.

    Can you get into Safe Mode? As soon as your splash screen disappears, start tapping F8 till you see a startup menu. Select either Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. If you can get into Safe Mode, we can try some things to see what the problem is.

    I've resolved the issue; I'm almost certain I require a new hard disk.

    Hi
    run the Seagate disk checker inbuilt tool

    might also be handy to run from an elevated command mode these
    sfc /scannow
    chkdsk /r

    Yup. I got a brand-new SSD and it's all cleared up. Thanks for your help torchwood and Mr. Jim.
