Windows won't startup, System Repair and System Restore failed.
Gateway DX4720-03, Windows 7 HP 64-bit.
Living is south FL can be a bitch when the rains come as there often is a ton of accompanying lightening that plays havoc with the electrical system, even though I have surge protectors inside and outside the house. We just had some very heavy rains with lightening and my computer shut down several times, but I could restart it each time...except for the last time when Windows wouldn't startup. At that point, Start Up Repair came into play. Although I routinely backup on an external drive, of course I never did it this month-DUH!
Results from SUR were error free (error code=0x0) on all the parameters tested, however there were the following error codes reported:
"Unspecified change to the system configuration might have caused the problem."
Repair Action: System Restore
Failed: 0x1f
Repair Action: System Files
Failed: x490
There were more options to select for a recovery task, but I didn't try them as they didn't seem to be as salient as the two above..
As System Repair and System Restore failed, please advise what i should next do.
