BSOD after changing system locale then "Insert proper boot device"

Trying to play a game and since it's Jap, I had to change the system locale to Japan.
After rebooting, because it requires a reboot, I got a BSOD in about a minute. I thought it was okay and wouldn't happen again because it ran out of memory or something. After I reboot, I got another BSOD and now it's saying "Reboot or insert proper boot device.

I went to the BIOS and my HD was the first boot priority. I'm a total noobie when it comes to computers.

I have an ASUS K52F-BBR5 Notebook.
Could my HD be corrupted or is there a way to fix this?
I'm currently finding my installation disk to see if I can do a startup repair.
Sorry for the lack of info.

"Reboot or insert proper boot device" normally means it tries to boot from a device (CD/DVD) and no CD/DVD is inserted.

Can you put HD as the only possible boot device in BIOS? So disable boot from cd/dvd, usb etc.
Disconnect any usb stocks/external drives. At least temporary as test

No USBs are connected, No CDs either.
Disabled CD/DVD and USB, same thing.
Same results

So in BIOS ... Hard disk is the only possible enabled boot device. So it boots only from hard disk (at least it tries).

Now go into BIOS again and set the follwing boot order:
-first CD/DVD
-second hard disk

Put in your win7 installation dvd and do http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html Method 2. Does it list your win7 installation? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html

Hmm, couldn't find my original installation disk so I used an iso.
It didn't detect the disk.

I booted from the DVD and there was a pause before it said Insert proper boot device.

I'll see if I can get the installation dvd working.

Did you burn the iso to dvd correct? Test it on another machine

 

[Leosyxi]

Ah whoops. Didn't burn correctly.
Oh no, it doesn't list my OS. D:

Okay, I did startup repair and it worked. I wanted to see what caused the BSOD and apparently it's the game.
The error is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Would you mind assisting me with that, if you know why I get that error?

It's okay if you're busy, I don't mind

startup repair did repair something... but what? Post C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
Maybe it's on D instead on C in windows recovery environment

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL just after windows logo? Just after login? After a few minutes working? Please be more precise.

Any more info availabel as DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL?

 

[Leosyxi]

After I start a certain game.
It only runs on Japanese-code page.
I connect to it using a VPN.

chkdsk/f  c:

It asks you to reboot... do it. It takes about 15 minutes to run. Any errors? All repaired?

After I start a certain game.
It only runs on Japanese-code page.
I connect to it using a VPN.

Why using VPN? Just to fake you location?

Also BSOD if you do other things using the VPN?

The game requires you to live in Japan.
I'm not sure what else I can do using the VPN, only thing I can think of is when Google asks if I want to switch to google.jp

How should I post the sfc /scannow results?

What vpn-client are you using?

Does google ask you to switch to google.jp? If so ... then you're browsing from japan so also using vpn. That works fine?

How should I post the sfc /scannow results?

Just copy/paste the output. Or post a screenshot How To Use SFC /Scannow To Repair Corrupted Windows System Files - TECHRENA

 

[Leosyxi]

The CBS.log is pretty long, should I paste the whole thing...?
It works fine if I surf the web using the VPN. It's called SoftEther PacketiX.

 

[Kaktussoft]

just post output of SFC/SCANNOW
