After visiting a ton of fourms without the info i seek i ened up in this 1 ! I hope you guys can help! The strangest thing happened to me yesterday; I went to boot my computer and it gave me that black screen that says windows did not shut down correctly. It had the options of boot in safe mode, boot in safe mode with networking, boot in safe mode with command promp, boot with last known settings, and boot windows normaly. I seleted boot windows normaly and started to boot, when the login screen is supposed to appear it has the blue error screen that tells you whats wrong. I cant read this screen because my computer reboots again! Another thing i noticed was when windows is booting the resume windows loading bar is on the bottom! This whole process keeps going and going! Oh and i forgot the wierdiest part! It does the same thing when i try to log into safe mode!I havent added any new hardware and i cant rember if i added any new software (not that it matters i cant boot up to remove it) HELP! PLZ!

Something is corrupt on that system, and it's better to start from scratch again. I would recommend reformatting that computer, and reinstalling windows. After you reinstall windows, I would run check disk on it.

Okay

I could run system restore but i need some files from my computer can some one show me how to do this? MAbe take my hard drive and put on my brothers pc?
 
system restore wont harm your other files, a reformat(what i suggest) you do. your bros PC would prabally work, or maybe a linux boot disk? start in linux then get the files.
 
If the system was corrupt pretty bad, a system "restore" isn't really going to help. System corruption is a cumulative thing, it usually happens over time. If you restore say, 5 days, you are still in pretty bad shape. You could end up back where you were 5 days after the restore.

I don't consider this a permanent solution, but you could use this time frame to gather the data you need.

1. I assume you're using WindowsXP?
2. A piece of software that could give you that problem would be something like a virtual drive on an older machine.
 
im totally confused now i dont know how to do that hard drive swap thing and when i mean system restore i mean the restore disk comapq gave me when i bought my pc and this will delete all my files. Retor - 2. A piece of software that could give you that problem would be something like a virtual drive on an older machine i didnt instal any thing i just shut my computer off and when woke up the next morning BAM!

1. Open both computers
2. Make sure that, on your brother's computer, the CD and HDD are on separate cables
3. Disconnect his CD drive and install your HDD in it's place
4. Power up his computer and copy your stuff off
 
that happened to me. i reinstalled windows, which helped, but then i had problems again and found it to be the motherboard - leaking caps. dunno if that caused the crash in the first place, but it definately killed the pc after the reinstall.
