This morning i turned on my computer and it hang at Windows start screen (the one with the moving blocks). I could not restart it with ctrl alt del so i turned it off with the powerbutton. When the menu turned up to choose how i would like to start Windows i let it start up normally..wich it wouldn't, it resulted in an autoreboot returning to that menu again. Now i'm working in safemode (admin account). Right now i'm doing a virusscan but doubt it's a virus really..next thing i'll try will be checkdisk.
This sounds like the same problem i had a few weeks ago. Only then i had done a sysrestore wich failed, in the end i couldn't do anything anymore and got the message: Could not find system.sav, or system.sav corrupted. I took it to repairshop and they formatted C: (i was hoping they could fix it without doing that) and built in an extra cooler, it's still not clear what caused all this.
Any of you have an idea on how to fix this weird problem, or what could cause this?
OS: Win XP Pro, SP2
are there any bad sectors on the HDD?
