windows 7 startup repair has failed?
Question by monkeyo0s: windows 7 startup repair has failed?
Okay, so I recently bought a computer, just over a month ago now and last week i tried to boot it, after having used it many times in the last month, and on boot it went straight to startup repair, which then went on to say that the problem could not be resolved and to remove all external memory drives and try again. i did so but to no avail. so i did a factory reset on friday. After that it worked fine, till just now when i tried to boot it again and the same has happened.
heres a list of all the software i installed, both when i first got the computer and on friday:
vlc player
adobe flash
office 2010 (used up my 2nd use, only got 1 left now)
steam (which installed rome total war gold +alexander, medeival 2 toal war +kingdoms, shogun2 total war, napoleon total war and empire total war (i love the series))
heres my computer specs:
Acer Aspire M3920
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
CPU: Intel core i5 processor 2300
RAM: 6GB DDR3 memory
Optical drive: DVD Super multi drive
VIDEO: AMD RadeonHD 6570
with BIOS:P01-A3
i have no idea whats wrong, the only thing i can think of (which probably is just coincidence) is that the last thing i installed on both occasions, was empire total war, and then after i turned off the system and tried turning it off it wouldnt work. but i doubt its that as surely i wouldnt be the only person this wouldve happened to?
whats wrong with my computer and how can i fix it?
strange thing has just happened now , i just went to turn it on to safe mode+ netowrking and forgot to actually press F8, so it went through the normal process, then it just started up normally (albeit with a few changes to my personal settings ie background, profile picture, screen resolution) what do you reckon happened? this didnt happen earlier in the week otherwise i wouldnt have reset

normally works for me.
Give your answer to this question below!











Something wrong with the games you installed.Probably one of them gives a problem.
On your place i would try next:uninstall one game (starting from the empire of war),used computer,if 1.nothing happens games is not good for PC
2.boot problems still exist,uninstall another game -until you will know a source of trouble.
