Boot trouble.

[bennyexpress]

Hey guys, my computer is having trouble booting.

It goes to the windows start up repair screen, i have tried going to safe mode via f8 with no luck.

I have done start up repair and it doesnt work.

However, when i run windows memory diagnostics it brings me to my login screen and i can use my computer as normal!

There seems to be trouble with your bootmgr. Startup/repair you have to run 3 times and reboot each time. But first check in disk management which partition is active - with your limping system after the diagnostics. A screenshot of disk management would be helpful.

this what you mean?

i also have this if it helps

Nah, A disk management snip looks like this. Make sure the Status field is open like on mine so that all the partition descriptors can be read. And make the snip in .png. That shows better.

You are good to go for 3 times startup/repair. Reboot each time. Hopefully that will fix your bootmgr problem.

At what point does WMD start Win7?

If it won't actually start until you run WMD, then instead run RAM Test with Memtest86+ CD for 7 passes or overnight to really stress it. Follow the steps to isolate the stick or slot which is problematic.

If no stick tests bad, then remove each stick to check for debris in slot to blow out, try one stick at a time, swap sticks. Remember the precautions for guarding against static shock:touch the metal on case before touching the chip, don't work on carpet, unplug A/C and battery, drain power by holding start ubtton:

If these fail then work through the steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start

Try this: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/104341-bootmgr-missing-fix.html Skip step 3 since you already tried that. This will work even though you did not get a message.

it doesn't say bootmgr is missing? all i know is that when i get to this...and select memory diagnostic tools it works....and my computer works like normal once it gets to the stage of logging in. i will try your steps now and hope for a result... could it be that something in msconfig is disabled or what ever?

At what point does WMD cause Win7 to start?

Test your RAM as I wrote out for your earlier. Ask back for any questions.

I said they might still work.
