Troubleshoot Windows 7 does not start

[Daniel Hidalgo]

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

The system is loaded and after a long time and then the screen "Starting Windows" is restarted

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

I used the Startup Repair option that comes in the installation disk
I have also tried to enter Safe Mode
In the command prompt I put the following commands:
bootrec / fixmbr
bootrec / fixboot

how are you
this time I have the following problem, as additional data is used the command:
chkdsk c: / r
and I took a day with that one scan and goes 1% but shows me that several data is damaged
if you have one solution and / or software that can serve me would greatly appreciate it

if it boot to safe mode try clean boot
start run msconfig go to startup and disable everything then go to services check hide microsoft services box and disable all the other
try to boot

if it boot to safe mode try clean boot

I try to go to safe mode but restarts automatically
there will be other way

Are there bad sectors detected?

FYI, when it comes to checking HDD surface integrity, there are better tools to use other than CHKDSK

 

[Daniel Hidalgo]

Are there bad sectors detected?

that's right, that tool would you recommend in this case

 

[WinXPert]

HDD Regen and HD Tune. But if the drive have too many errors, better let it go.

Do you have a bootable Win 7 DVD? Try Startup Repair

Let chkdsk do its thing. You most likely can forget booting since those files/settings got corrupt.

What I would do is

• Let chkdsk finish
• RUN MEMTEST86+ FIRST! (too late but that's what you do before disk diagnostics--if your RAM is corrupt, you'll corrupt the data on the disk)
• Copy everything you want to keep onto another disk/media/flash drive, whatever
• Run thorough disk diagnostics with PartEd or OEM tools (WD, Seagate, et. al.) to see if it can be reformatted and reused (or returned if under warranty); check SMART data

 

[WinXPert]

Let chkdsk finish

chkdsk c: / r
and I took a day with that one scan and goes 1%

CHKDSK NOT the best tool for the job

 

[nissimezra]

first thing first
try to boot again using f8, in the black screen chose repair your computer, go to system restore and try to retore it back.
let me know if it works
if you cant boot try doing it from repair or installation cd

Hello Friend it may be that the ram this failing, if you have two units remove one, try it costs nothing. LUCK

maybe if he has a motherboard, hard disk, ram he should try to replace?
come on people first thing first the operating system does not boot thats the problem.
he has a bios, he doesn't receive a message no bootable device why to look for hardware problem? if he can boot to the bios no need to lock for memory problem and he said that he has a boot screen which means the bios is working.

OS not booting is a symptom, not the problem.

Bad RAM will make a disk appear corrupt since it is reading good data from the disk and turning it into bad data in memory. CHKDSK, et. al. will act on this bad bad data and try to repair it, in which case the good repair data will also get corrupted into bad data when it gets written. Think of playing a vinyl LP with a bad needle: it destroys the LP (assuming anyone here even knows what that is, heh).

We don't go swapping parts guessing; we use diagnostic tools with sound methods and procedures and deductive logic. The OP started a disk diagnostic and it reports bad clusters. Don't assume that is the problem since a diagnostic reporting bad clusters can be caused by bad physical media (very likely), bad logic on the disk controller (unlikely), bad bus (very unlikely) or bad RAM (likely). You want to eliminate bad RAM first because if you don't, you'll destroy all that good data. If the RAM is good, you risked nothing. Bad RAM will even fool your RAID controller into thinking the RAID configuration needs repair. Don't tell it to repair until you've tested RAM first! (personal experience...destroyed the RAID and all the contents on it and I was out of town at the time...tactical rebuild!)

Have you tried the 'Last known configuration' which you will find upon the options to safe mode?

If you believe its not a software culprit then it can be a hardware which you need to provide the age of those installed parts and possible you should experience pre symptoms before it result to unbootable.

Try system restore but for sure its unlikely if the problem goes to hardware. So access the device manager then remove some components that are no longer to use. *

* Usually that's one of the cause to make Windows problematic upon booting.

 

[Rolo]

Age is irrelevant; parts fail at various ages and not always due to wear. Besides, we have diagnostics to test hardware.

Guessing with device manager ignores the only lead so far: CHKDSK is finding bad clusters.

dia = divide + gnosis = knowledge == distinguish

 

[WinXPert]

and given the knowledge that after 1 day, CHKDSK still hang at 1%, it's prudent to use other tools more dedicated to checking HDD integrity instead of allowing it to finish

Like Winxpert said use
HDD Regenerator & make it bootable & scan ur HD for bad sectors or U can use bootable Hiren boot CD to check/repair bad sectors.What is ur HD? seagate ,western digital or from other manufacture?

 

[Daniel Hidalgo]

Thanks to all.

I commented that by the time I used the following options to restore the system option, in that it seems that there is no mention restore point.
Also use the Windows Memory Diagnostic and mentions that has no problem
In the other option to enter safe mode is the same automatically restarts
Now insert the Windows DVD and select the option to start repair.
If this fails, I will use HDD Regenretor for deeper analysis and the chkdsk c: / r did not give me a good result

 

[Daniel Hidalgo]

What is ur HD? seagate ,western digital or from other manufacture?

I honestly could not tell you what is a Dell Inspiron 1420, the hard disk is not that manufacturer

 

[Kuttz]

When and how exactly this problem start to happen, I mean does the problem start to appear after you Installed a new driver, application or you removed a malware from the system etc.

He started playing online after researching a topic and then turned off standard equipment and from there emerged
