Start up problem - possibly AtiPce.sys?
My sons Win7(64 bit) laptop won't start up properly, I suspect he pulled the battery off while Windows was still open. I hope someone can help, I have tried the following start ups several times.
With a normal start up, it gets to the "Starting Windows" page, loads for a while and then restarts.
With a Safe Mode start up (all versions), it gets to:
Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\AtiPcie.sys, hangs for a while and then restarts.
With a Startup Repair (recommended) start up it gets to the login screen - well sort of. The background picture appears with a cursor, but there are nothing else.
I have created a system repair disc from my own W7 (64 bit) laptop and have booted from that. This does the same as a Starup Repair, with the addition of choosing a keyboard, it doesn't progress ot offering me an account to log in to.
I am sure someone will have the answer, I just can't seem to get anywhere by myself.
Thanking you in advance.
