windows 7 Why did I have to start my computer in repair mode??

[News Bot]

Early this a.m. I was using my computer and worked on 3 Word doc. I saved these docs on a USB(DataTraveler) and shut down the computer with this USB still in the port. About 20 min later I turned the computer on again and got that Blue Screen. Very shortly

a message appeared saying windows could not start the computer then a message that recommended that I start in the Repair mode so I clicked on that. During the time that it was trying to do any repairs I got the message that I should let it start the computer

in a previous time but in doing so any new programs would be gone or something similar to that. There is not always time to read all of the message and I did not memorize them. The last message said app that if the computer started successfully the problem

had been resolved. The problem apparently was due to a bad section or sector of a disk. Fortunately the computer started as it normally does

 

As I stated I had saved Word docs on a USB which was still attached to the computer. When I tried to open one of the docs, which had been writttened in Word Starter as I do not have Office, the computer could not open it until it downloaded some parts or

data. After this download the doc opened and all appeared normal. Shortly Adobe put up a message saying that it needed to be updated. This update did take a while but there did not seem to be any problems. I took out the USB after clicking on the Safe to take

out......

 

Now, app 5 hours later the computer started up the way that it usually does, of course a faster startup would always be better even when I am not in any hurry, and all seems fine. There is no problem opening up the Word docs or any other programs.

 

I wonder how can I see why the repair was needed and what caused the problem? What dump or log do I look at and how do I read those logs? Will the problem happen again? That Blue Screen did not look good so how do I or what can I do to avoid seeing a Blue

Screen or being notified that I need to start tis computer in Repair Mode?

 

Well any help, and I've gotten great help from the Forums, would be appreciated.

 

I have a HP G62-34OUS Notebook with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10. For a while I was having problems with Explorer and Skydrive but things are working well now.  Recently I did have a problem with Video not audio on using Hulu to stream an old tv show.

The video stopped while the audio continued. However installing a new video drive seems to have helped. It hard to say because this was the second time that such a problem had occurred and the first time was app 2 months ago so we will have to see. I also

have problems with a damaged library that does not seem to get fixed despite some good advice from the Forum however I work around this when using the Windows Media Player.  all other programs work fine.

 

Thanks,

henry
