Start-up issues on my toshiba laptop. NEED HELP!!

[Dr. Zoidberg]

after it says "starting windows" it blue screens and instantly restarts now. WTF

 

[OG buckshot jr]

right at this moment its constantly reseting before it gets to the repair mode... fuckin fuckity...

At what point, exactly, does it reset? After/before the POST screen, after before the Windows Logo? Any noises?

 

[Narf!]

I still say you should check your memory but now also probably your HDD. See if you can download a USB bootable copy of linux or actually even just a Live Linux DVD so you can test the HDD.

I'll tell you how...after BJ concedes that it's not a Windows error. :p

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

it resets and the black screen where it has a windos logo (that moves) ad says "starting windows", then a have second blue screen flash and resets

 

[OG buckshot jr]

If it Blue Screens, I would recommend sending to manufacturer solely for the reason that you may be done your warranty soon (I thought you mentioned this earlier). If the bluescreen is random, however, we can proceed... Check the Error code on the blue screen (flashes quick), but bottom left you'll see something like:
STOP Error 0x00000001 to STOP Error 0x0000005F


The end "5F" is important part (the actually error code). Look for it and we'll see what we have here...

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

now it doesnt give me the "start windows normally" or the "run start up repair" options anymore....

On boot, you can jam the shit out of F8, it will give you the option(s). What DOES it do?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

i can access my boot manager tho, that is one options i still have.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

f8 safe mode never worked since i had this issue, i will try again tho

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Select Normally, then proceed to jam f8 again. THIS will prompt a second menu for recovery. Sorry, should have been more clear.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

f8 worked, i have safe mode options now

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

i have no selections anymore for starting windows normally, but i got safe mode to work. im now in safe mode menu

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

im done work in 15 mins and my bos said he'd stay late for me (cool shit)

 

[OG buckshot jr]

You're now in safe mode and it works (to some extent), right?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

im in a menu where it says:
repair your computer

safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt

enable boot logging
enable low resolution video (640x480)
last-know good configuration (advance)
directory services restore mode
debugging mode
disable automatic restart on system failure
disable driver signature enforcement


those are my options

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Click repair your computer, it load recovery and try to scan for start-up issues. Let it do it's thing, once it's done, you can click command prompt.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

ok i did that, and now its at a black screen with my cursor and the repair never loaded, so no its just a blank screen

Recovery never loaded?? That's not good... any noises coming from your hard-drive on start up? Tick tick type shit?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

not that i can hear, at least not over the sounds of the fan, but it never really made noise even when it worked

 

[OG buckshot jr]

There's got a to be a way you can get to recovery... If you have a Windows 7 disk, it's fairly surefire... where do you live, maybe I can help?
