Ts_Stormrage Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 So here is the problem, starting with what works:I can start my computer up in safe mode and do all the things it normally allows you to do in safemode... This means I can still copy files and what not around (or so it seems anyways)... Now for what doesnt work:Normal startup of my Compaq with Windows Vista (dont hate me) just freezes just before I would normally see the Windows Icon on that perrty blue/greenish screen... The screen turns black and nothing else happens...Start-up repair suggested goign back to a system restore point, but that has not helped either (I thoink it gets stuck while doign that too) Tests and Diagnostics show that everything is working, except for 1 test done on one of my harddrives (I think its a START quick scan)... Before I completely wreck my computer by spreading whatever the hell is wrong with it through wiping it and going back to factory settings, I would like some advise on what MIGHT be wrong with the thing, and wether or not it is fixable... Personally I think a bit of the Harddrive where some of the drivers needed for full windows (not that 64 color safe mode fail thing) has become fubar... But I am not an expert...
