serious crash Gremlins in the works?

Maybe a shot in the dark, but try booting to safe mode with command prompt, and see if you can run sfc from there? This will have the added benefit of disabling any security software that may be blocking the process.

thanks A Guy i ran the sfc /verifyonly cmd and i do have violations (surprised this command worked because sfc wont) i will read the cbs. log tomorrow its late here and i must get some sleep been on this all day and im a bit brain numb will update with any news

Have you checked your BIOS settings?

Might want to re-set CMOS also.

 

[brianzion]

i just ran sfc in offline mode using cmd from my system repair disc but still got Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service error

re-set CMOS ? please enlighten me what this does and what to expect. don't like messing in the bios. i might just ride this windows 7 out on the machine and get windows 8 when its released this copy of 7 come with the machine its two years old at Christmas i was going to buy a new copy but if 8 is out i will wait.

If it were up to me I would not change BIOS yet. I'm sure Dave has a reason for that advice, I'd like to learn something there but right now I fail to see a connection between a W7 Resource Protection, normally ALWAYS fixed by software settings, and BIOS? Unless you also have HDD issues... but those have not come up, have they?

We'll do some more searching....

at least im not getting blue screens !! ( i will get a new pc soon anyhow im due for a upgrade been working hard! so good to spend some on myself i would like to keep this machine ticking over as it is till then i will still use it though! all the upgrades i paid out for it!)

I've got an idea for two more tries. Both are based on my assumption that something is messed up in your permissions.

1. Create a shortcut (on desktop) with the full path of C:\Windows\System32\sfc.exe and add /scannow in command. Run this shortcut with elevated admin perms.

Probably better:
2. Use this tut: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/507-built-administrator-account-enable-disable.html and run the off-line version provided earlier, in a command prompt after logging in as this admin.

already tried 1
2 already been in admin account still no go

To be sure...? Have you followed that tutorial, so you now have two users when you boot? Aministrator and your own?

Brian in this fix, where you ensure that the Windows Modules Installer is set to manual, did you see the second service that also has to be checked? Windows Installer must also be set to manual. I ask because the first time I read through the fix I completely overlooked this second service.

 

[brianzion]

Correct my friend

Correct as in you already saw it or correct it helped lol

ps what player do you use for your video?? I only use VLC and it refused to play it

 

[brianzion]

Correct my friend

it was already set to manual as was the other one but sfc still gives error

 

[pooch]

Ok back to the drawing board

Another answer I have found to this is to do a chkdsk /f and then try the scan again.

one of the first checks i done after the crash

 

[MvdB]

Another long shot, takes a little time but is safe and rules out a lot....:

Do you have an extra Harddisk laying around that you could use for a test W7 install? Replace your current W7 boot disk (take it out completely) and do a fresh install. As I said before, I fail to see the connection with BIOS/mobo etc.. but this test would surely rule that out (or prove me wrong )

Or... the other way around? A spare system that could hold your current C: and check if the error is really within that W7 install on that harddisk?

What AV do you use? Have you tried with security disabled (AV and maybe malware realtime filters)?
I've found some examples blaming/claiming McAfee for this problem and disabled, it worked...?
