My computer wont allow me to boot into safe mode. when i try it seems to load all the safe mode files then it reboots into normal mode... also, when i try to shutoff my computer explorer.exe wont close. i need to force a shutdown otherwise nothing happens.
I did a chkdsk /r and it scanned but before i could read if it found anything it went straight to booting, i still cant get into safe mode.
I have now discovered i also do not have any sound. Could this be an internal problem? Any when i try to go test sound or change playback device it start not responding and closes.
updates keep popping up, im installing updates from 2014 and every time i install a set of updates even more come up after i restart, should i be installing them?
I somehow fixed it... i unplugged my headset from my computer when i realised it had no sound and plugged it back in, it installed some drivers, i restarted and everything works again. i really appreciate your help ICIT2LOL!
Good stuff mate glad that it was something as simple as that. It could have been just that you had the phones plugged in and the chkdsk for what it is worth the results you can see in the Event Viewer.
see this Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log
Now what I usually do when things get fixed up like this to recommend this Optimize Windows 7 It is my bible when doing an install or fixing friends and families machines and will make the machine somewhat faster and more efficient. Now there is just one thing and that is some of the tweaks in that tutorial will mean you lose some of the "bling" like transparency - which I find a unnecessary feature anyway. If you have any queries all you need to do is reply to the tutorial thread and Brink who is a master of all will help you out - such a nice fellow.
Anyway the choice is your but I do use it on all of my machines (6) and have never had any problems with what the tweaks do. Just as by the by if you ever install 10 there is a similar tutorial for that.
