win7 won't boot, system repair, restore, safe mode won't work

[Alexanto]

I have recently installed windows ultimate x64 on my computer.

i have an asus p6t deluxe v2 mobo, i7-960 cpu and a wd velociraptor hdd. The install went ok, I even managed to restart my computer a few times after but after windows updates installed it won't boot. I tried to boot into safe mode, restore from the installer, and repair, none worked. After startup repair it says: "a patch is preventing the system from starting" and I get a 0x1f error code.
(Preventing windows from downloading any updates didn't work either)
I tried to look the answer up in the forum, but found no real solution.

Hi there Welcome to SevenForums.com,

What do you mean by it wont boot? How far can you get into Windows? Login screen? Desktop then it crashes?

 

[Alexanto]

i get as far as the "starting windows screen" but no logo comes and there it freezes

Sounds like your installation has become corrupted somehow.

Try repairing and checking using command prompt, here's how...

1. Insert the Windows 7 Disc and boot from it.
2. In the recovery menu, choose Command Prompt .
3. Type the following command and press Enter:

Chkdsk /r /f

Please also try the following commands and press Enter at the end of each line:

Ren C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml pending.old
Ren C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD

Regedit.exe

When the register editor opens, please navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS:

* High light the COMPONENTS key. Please check if the following values exist in the right pane:

AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
PendingXmlIdentifier

* If so, please right click on them and choose Delete them. Confirm the operation.
* Restart the computer."

When in the rare case Windows Updates causes unbootable Win7, the solution is tohttp://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/51100-repair-cd-system-repair-disk.html boot into System Recovery Options, preferably on the Win7 DVD or System Repair Disk, to run Startup Repair.

Startup Repair should automate System Restore but if not run it manually from the list.

If this fails then work through the other steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start

In the register editor there is no HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE there is HARDWARE,SAM,SECURITY,SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM nothing else

 

[Alexanto]

And as I've said startup repair and system restore won't work, but i will go through the steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start

You ran those repairs from the disk?

Where did you get Win7 Ultimate? Is it an Upgrade from a lower version of Win7?

I would try reinstalling but this time wipe the HD first using Diskpart Clean Command.

Then to make sure you're getting a perfect baseline reinstall follow the same steps as for Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

 

[Alexanto]

No, not from the disk, I've installed windows from usb, so I have no disk

 

[gregrocker]

Use the USB installer System Recovery Options to do the repairs.

 

[Alexanto]

Yes, that's what I did. I did not work.

i had same problem i have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on an amd a10 5800k black edition (mother board is ga-f2a75-d3h

16gb ddr3 ram also im using the built in graphics chip,,

Lg ips224 hd 1080p monitor (running via hd cable)


When i installed windows 7 (clean install as just built pc) it all installs fine.
But theres some yellow triangles against Smbus controller, then 2 USB controller also the pci device

So i updated the ethernet from the gigabyte site all ok
Then i tried to update the amd chipset driver from the site it installs but when it comes to reboot it it hangs on a black screen and wont get to the login screen. (it wont boot into safe mode any of the safe modes it wont repair the system. the only option each time is to reinstall windows.

So ive done that and still i have the 4 yellow triangles against the usb controllers etc.
what am i doing wrong ??

This is not XP. As it says clearly in Clean Reinstall - Windows 7 provides the drivers in the installer and via optional Windows Updates when you enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3).

So after getting online, do all rounds of Windows Updates first, then report back what drivers are still missing.

Where did you get Ultimate? How is it activated?

 

[chris1011981]

Ive had the windows 7 ultimate a while bought it for 50 pounds from ebay. its activated online all succesful all legit
