Where did half my windows go?

[Merlin4458]

Was playing SOF2 last night and suddenly the pc crashed and rebooted. so i switched back on to find that everytime it boots (the windows loading bar going across) tries to load windows but then gives up and restarts again. THe only way i can get in is if i Click ( LAst known good configuration that worked).

This setting misses half the colour scheme of windows like taskbar is grey etc. windows mmedia player is now not installed....

Temps seemed fine. Any ideas all

Thanks Merlin

Sounds like hard drive corruption to me......have you run a full scan of the disk?

Can you get in in safe mode and try a system restore to a day or so ago? Failing that if you can get into safe mode and run chkdsk /r

did u open half the curtains? that might be why you cant see half the windows.

that was poor

Might wanna check your SMART values too, speedfan has a tab for it, pretty self explanitory from then onward.

can go safe mode and do restore but still missing things. Its a new hd and ive only jsut formatted it, would be a mission to do it again, will try that checkdisk/r, and not got speedfan, at the mo
