W7 Safe Mode and Boot failure!
I'm brand new to this forum and PC knowledge fairly basic so apologies if info is vague !
PC i980 CPU: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Motherboard: OS Windows 7.
New desktop ran fine for first few hours. Possibly as the result of HP8500 Printer installation, PC will not boot beyond "Starting Windows" screen - black background and MS flag logo. (Re-starts offering Auto-repair which it cannot complete)
Blue screen briefly appears citing "Memory Dump to Hard disk" etc
Auto-repair function cannot cure problem nor can PC boot in Safe Mode.
PC will not boot from W7 installation disc.
Startup Repair delivers following message:-

Can anyone offer advice and is a full re-installation of W7 the only solution?
Many thanks,
