PROBLEM

My computer won't boot. A blue screen appears to say an error has been detected and that I should run a virus check etc. It won't boot in safe mode either. I can't get it to boot in any mode whatsoever so can't run any anti-virus programs.

 

HISTORY

My virus software subscription ran out and the computer was used for 2 months without any anti-virus software. I subscribed to my anti-virus software for another year and tried to undate my virus definitions. However there was an error with this and it wouldn't work. A couple of days later it would start and I got the blue screen as described above.

 

I do not have a boot disk and have no idea what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated.

as a pure suggestion you could format the HD using a ubuntu or somthing to see if that works. Only thing will be you wont be able to get it back to windows without either buying a new copy of windows, or doing somthing I dont think I'm aloud to say about, so I wont.

 

Just remember that if you want to use Ubuntu, or whatever you decide to download, make sure you have somthing to burn it to a disc with (I use ISO CD)

 

Just type somthing like 'Burn ISO's to CD' into google or somthing, and I'm sure a list will pop up.

 

Hope this helps

 

(sorry, I know you said you dont have a boot CD or anything, but its a suggestion for the time being)
