If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select safe mod.

*Starts Windows Normally* I get the startup loading screen and it just sits there trying to load forever.




So do i need to reformat? if so how do i do that from the startup i can press ESC to see boot options. please help me i need to run my staller

Ouch. Never let windows fix itself

As for a solution, I follow the advice above, and so usually with errors like this, I'd reformat. Use the disk that came with your laptop. If you didn't get one, return the laptop and buy another.

well the only CD that came with it is a Windows Vista upgrade anytime CD and i dont think that will work.

Most likely lost the windows system files in hdd corruption.

You going to need someone who understands it to recover files.
(boot cd>copy files to external hdd or different partition)

Max you can do is full reformat and reinstall windows.

ps.: posted wrong area.

Yeah, go return it. Say you were browsing or something and the pc just powered off, then was stuck at the loading screen permanently. Any manufacturer that doesn't include a recovery CD with every single PC they manufacture isn't worth a damn, let alone reliable should your PC fug up in the future.

Well the blue screen is never good when its happend and is hard to fix it ..so yea better to format and install windows again.

Seems to be a hard drive issue: physical damage/data corruption. If the hard drive diagnostic shows any problems, they'll probably have you send in the hard drive to swap for a new one. If not, they might have you check and tighten the hdd cables, then reinstall windows from some hidden recovery partition or some recovery disc.

format ftw

and if your cpu is vista, sro doesnt wokr real well with vista so....

oh but SRO has ran fine on vista for a long time so i dno...

gl with that
