    Computer only working for a minute, Doesn't let me use system restore


    I try to boot up my computer and around a minute later none of my applications work anymore and I'm forced to restart my computer. I hit f8 as it was booting up and if I select any of the options I get an I/O error 0xc00000e9 and I couldn't even use safe mode. The next day I tried safe mode and it works! Then an hour later (While I was backing up all my important files to my E:/ drive) nothing would respond again, and safe mode would do that every time i loaded it. Does anyone know what's happening? I'm pretty sure it has to do something with failing hardware.

    Can be a disk problem.
    Boot from an installation disk, go to repair and launch a CMD window.

    Type:
    chkdsk C: /f/r

    If it finds bad clusters and or bad blocks, your disk is dying. Replace the disk. My suggestion is to replace with a SSD.

    If the disk is healthy, do a system file check
    Type
    sfc /scannow

    I got all the stuff on a different computer and used a flash drive to transfer it, but since my computer wont respond after a couple seconds I can't get to the program to run it!

    Did you burn a DVD or made a boot able USB flash disk on the computer that you downloaded the ISO file?

    The ISO is the windows 7 installation disk.
    If you have burn the iso file to a DVD or created a USB boot able you can boot from it and then check your disk. See post #2.

    My dvd-R's disappeared so i can only use flash drives/sd cards but since my flash drives are only 2 gigs big i can only use sd cards, and in order to make the a bootable sd card you must use the program you gave me. the only problem is that I can only run executeables on the computer that is pretty much broken

    I dropped my computer 1 foot recently, before this happened. Would that effect anything?
