Crashing on login screen

[Jesper800]

Hi all,

I've had Windows 7 since the release date, but for some reason it has stopped working. I can start up my PC, but at the login screen it crashes (sometime bluescreen, sometimes not). I tried safe mode, debug mode, CD-boot, system repair, but it just crashes when I get past the part where Windows does some basic starting.

The problem started today, I went downstairs to get some breakfast, and when I came back my PC was restarting. Then I tried starting it again, but it crashed on the login screen (blue screen). At that point I was able to get into safe mode, but for some reason I'm not able to do that either anymore.

System specs in my profile, running W7.

Does anyone have a clue what could fix my problem?


Thanks,

Jesper

As stated in the first post, I can't really do anything, so I have no idea how I could get the dump file.

I added a more extended history of the problem to the first post tho .

Are you overclocking? If yes, then stop.

If you're not, in you're bios try loading "Optimized default settings".

 

[Jesper800]

I did what you said, now it says: "Missing operating system" on boot, do you know what's happening?

 

[TGSoldier]

Make sure in your bios your hard drive is set to boot first. If you have any external hard drives / usb drives plugged in - unplug them.

 

[Jesper800]

Did all of that, still "Missing operating system".

 

[TGSoldier]

Is your hard drive secured properly?

 

[Jesper800]

Okay, it's weird, but the entire problem is fixed. The missing operating system message came from loading the "Optimized defaults" in the BIOS, which disabled the RAID. When I enabled the RAID again, the operating system was found again. What is weird tho, is that it also doesn't crash on login anymore... Strange.

Probably was a setting in the BIOS.

I missed on the RAID setup you had. My bad.
