BSOD on startup

[xrendan]

Sorry but, i cannot put the memory dump since my Toshiba satellite L300 laptop will not boot. The BSOD output was A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is your first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If it appears again follow these steps:
Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then resatart your computer.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007a (0xFFFFF880009A98E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0X00000000000000000, 0X0000000000000000)

Sorry I forgot to add that my laptop is about a year old I had Vista installed than I went to Ubuntu then back to Vista then to Linux mint and then 2-3 weeks ago I did a clean install of Windows 7 professional 64 bit

Hello, and welcome!

Start with a RAM test; see this guide for using Memtest86: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

Can the computer start in safe mode?

 

[xrendan]

When I boot windows only gives me two options startup repair (which I am doing currently) and start windows normally. So to answer your question no I cannot start in safe mode

 

[Jonathan_King]

Hit "Start Windows Normally" and then immediately start tapping F8 as rapidly as you can. See if you can enter Safe Mode that way.

Okay i'll try i will report with my results

 

[xrendan]

I tried that but it just beeped at me then my laptop showed the Blue screen of death

 

[xrendan]

Do you think I should backup all my data and then do a clean install

 

[Jonathan_King]

Bear in mind, a clean install will solve any software problem; hardware problems will not be fixed however.

Try hitting F8 as soon as the computer starts up, and keep hitting it repeatedly and see if it will show you the Advanced Boot Options screen.

All it gives me is HDD FDD CD/DVD USB and network
and I've already tried doing that

Could you run a RAM test?
