I am having a few snags with my (Windows 7) Desktop PC - I can't get it to boot - it just hangs when launching the OS (on the black 'Starting Windows' screen).
System specs are:
- Windows 7 HE 64Bit
- Intel Core i7 960 @ 3.20GHz 8 MB cache LGA1366 - Overclocked
- 6GB (3x2GB) Corsair Dominator GT PC16000 DDR3/2000mhz Triple Channel Memory (Windows Memory Check OK)
- Asus P6T Deluxe V2 Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Mainboard SAS Triple-Channel DDR3/1600
- TAGAN PSU 1100W TG1100-U33 SuperRock Power Supply
- Kingston SSDNow V Series 128GB SSD (F: - Windows 7 installed on this drive)
- Hitachi 2TB HDD
- Hitachi 750GB HDD
- Lite-On IHOS104-37 4X Blu-Ray Player
- LG BH08LS20 BD-RE Burner
- Creative Labs Fatality Championship X-FI Card
I have run Windows Repair and it seems unable to help. It 'searches for problems' and then merely announces that it can't repair the PC. Checking the log this creates doesnt reveal anything other than numerous 'Errorcode - 0x0' labels. Attempting to use a Restore Point through the Windows Repair facility again just comes up as failed - rebooting normally Windows just hangs as per normal.
In am fairly certain this must be hardware related - I have been away so my desktop has only been used periodically for internet browsing. I was thinking it may be the SSD HDD? Could the symptoms match this? Upon investigation on the Command Prompt (accessed through Windows Repair) I can still see the drive but for filesize it is listed as 0 bytes (although I can see all the folders). However Windows does start to Boot so it can't be a complete disc failure...
Any help would be appreciated!
Many thanks
