Windows 7 boot cycle!

/Thom\ · 18 Jul 2009 at 15:18

ok, so i have been using windows 7 since the rc was releast, and everything has been fine, until i tried to boot yesterday.

the machine will post then try to load 7, and then get the the loading screen and then restart. i try to load the start up repair and that does the same thing. Saya loading files, the bar fills up screen goes black, and then repeat.

from here i tried to boot from my disk of 7, and again files load and it restarts before doing anything.

i have scanned the hdd and there are no errors on it all sectors are perfect, and i have also checked the ram, which again passed tests fine.

anyone have any ideas what i can do to fix this problem? i had some very important internets to be browsing!

Just leave one mem stick in the motherboard and try that first.
If that don't work in the bios load defaults, save exit and try again.

Try unpluging any USB items you may have pluged in ,never heard of this one..
could be a bad burn of your dvd?

This is actually a good possibility though I bet the OP already looked.

Try the rtm version, all over torrent sites, and even comes with working activator, not that I speak from experience or anything

i got bored and annoyed with trying to work it out

decided a format was just what the doctor ordered and then hey! look at that the disk works again!

something really odd was happening and it makes no sense at all but i nolonger care cause i have everything back to how i want it and thing running smother faster because i dont have any of the crap i used to have installed.

cheers for the words of advice though guys.
