Windows 7 won't boot/startup - just locks up or resets

[xzero1134]

Hello,

I cant get my Windows 7 to start up. I'm not sure if this is my PCs problem or windows. It starts up, gives me the ASUS screen where I can go into setup (though messing around in it hasn't helped yet). otherwise it goes to black screen where I can choose start windows normally or launch troubleshoot. if I pick start normally the windows logo comes up, loads, tursn black, and resets the PC. If I choose troubleshoot, it goes black for several minutes, shows the Windows 7 BG, and just gets stuck there. I'm not sure what to try to get it to boot.

Hello XZERO1134.

Do you have a windows installer disk or a recovery disk? You need any one of those.

Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html (step by step, as mentioned in the resulting page) for three separate times, with restarts between every single run, and see if it works or not.
