I suggest starting all troubleshooting with the following diagnostic tests. They'll save you a lot of time and heartache if there is a hardware failure, and you'll have the disks on hand in case you need them in the future:

H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)

Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Free Online AntiMalware Scanners (read the details at the link)

Memory Diagnostics was fine
Hardrive diagnostics was fine
And there was no malware/spyware ect on my computer
what do i do now?

A core system file may have been corrupted in the crash, I would run a secure file check next.

If you can't get far enough in to use option 1

Alright i did that and it said

Windows did not find any integrity violations

Sadly that's all I really had for you short of a repair install.

Oh thats ok i apreciate your help im probly just gunna wait till i can find my 1tb hardrive to backup everythink so i can restore to factory defaults would be good to find out the cause of this problem/and or a fix though

Before you start doing a repair install - I suggest that you do Startup Repair.

The only reason I skipped that is because it seems the bootmgr is intact, it's freezing at the actual windows load screen.

I Have already done a startup repair. but to no avail

I'd go for a repair install. You will still have your documents, files, programs, everything! After the installation is done. Use the link from Maguscreed's post.

i am not able to do a repair install as it was installed in the shop and i was not given the disc. the only thing i have close to that is the startup repair partion you mentioned earlier for Restoreing to factory defaults ect when this ordeal is over im going to make sure i partion my C drive so that i can always have a backup of my favourite games ect. so if there is a way for me to do a repair install without the disc and without an external hardrive im all eyes!

 

[Yummy1222]

By the way i just wanted to add i already tried to partion the drive but it wont let me do it in safemode and windows wont boot up in Normal mode (cant play games in safemode ): ) so if you knew how i could partion the drive so i could backup my games and save my self the 100+ gigabyte download in safemode thats almost as good as a fix to my problems lulz

You should have been given a windows disc (even if it was a copy) with the machine you purchased from the shop.

Fixing this will be difficult without that resource.
