Desperate need of help! My laptop froze and I had to manually shut it off to restart it. When it restarted it came up with the black screen/white letters that reads:

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully...etc..."

And it gave me options as to continue in "Safe Mode" and to continue normally...I've tried each of the options and each one results in a blue screen that flashes really quickly with white words but my computer shuts off automatically, not giving me time to read any of it. It restarts on its own and does the same thing. I've tried not selecting anything and letting it "start windows" in its own "in 30 seconds". And still it goes to the blue screen.

So I grabbed my camera and recorded it so I could pause and read it. What I see is that:

"A problem has occurred and Windows has been shut down to protect damage to your [somethingorother]."

And then it says that it could be because of hardware/software that's been unproperly downloaded or something and to make sure that it's downloaded correctly. But I can't get on the computer to do that! (Keeps shutting off after that.) Is this fixable? I can say goodbye to the computer - but I can't say goodbye to the files!!! Are they rescuable to put onto another computer somehow if it can't be fixed? Please help.

the prob. is that your kernel of os in corrupted....try to repair system with bootable cd....
if it's take no effect ...then you have to reformat your system....

and listen....use reliable recovery software...user "rollback Rx...." which is best software for windows prob. which is occurd by virus or another .....
this software restore your system at healthy state in 10 seconds. it restore ur system ethier ur system is not booting....
it's simple ...install rollback after installing window.....and take a snapshot of your system ....which takes 5 seconds...
you take more than 1000 snapshots ....and it's take no hidden space in harddisk...snapshot takes... 10mb-20mb and more than 100 mb....

when you ever face prob in window.... simply open rollback rx and restore system at healthy snapshot....
when your system are not booting...simple press F8 key at boot time and rollback menu appears at boot time..and you can also choose snap shot for restoration there and bring back system to healthy state.....
pls try this software.....

this is wonderful software .......it's safe ur money time and your system.....

ENJOY rollback............

Try removing the battery from the motherboard, opening your hard drive as the master in another computer to find out whether or not the mother board is bad, and once you get it working do a system restore(start,all programs,accessories,system tools) put it back before it messed up

It may be due to SP 2 or 3. Do your computers have an AMD CPU?

No AMD CPU's? Oh well, the script does not work for Intel CPU's. Merry Christmas.

I had this problem and didn't go through any of the F8 stuff to recover my hard drive. I just removed the hard drive and bought a transfer kit, so I could load my hard drive to another computer. After that I just formatted the hard drive and reloaded the operating system and other software. Actually, my computer is fast again, so it worked out okay.

Hey people he said that his computer automatically shuts down! He cannot go to My Computer or any of that junk. So I think he computer is messed up... Just get a new one or take it to the pros and see if they can find the problem. Might be in the win32 files that are the mainframe of your computer. It could be a bad binary code of somesuch. Don't feel bad I spilt milk on my laptop yesterday and it gives me same message "Windows has been shut down to protect your computer, etc." and I couldn't get the battery out in time so yeah my lappy is fried. Hopefully yours was still under warranty and you can get a new one. Best of luck to ya.

My uncle's Dell laptop has a damaged screen and he used another monitor as modem to back up his laptop.The problem started when he inserted a disc,probably with the virus,because the laptop was not able to reject it and he decided to switch it of and restart it again,but it showed something like the windows was not started successfully,so it detected some conviniences and shut down tom prevent some damages.It has refused to display anything to the supporting modem (monitor) and it was hard to read what was below that statement.Tell me what to do?

I keep reading to press F8 to enter BIOS. F8 takes you to Safe Mode. You want to press F2 during startup to enter your BIOS. F12 will take you to other boot options. Pay close attention to your Boot-Up Screen at the beginning. Look at the corners of the screen. Usually it's on the upper right. Sometimes at the bottom. This will tell you which button to press. Here's a trick you can do. If you can get into Safe Mode .... from your Start Menu click Run ..... type msconfig .......from there select to boot in Diagnostic Mode. Close it out. Restart, and see if you can get to your desktop from there. It disables most of 'your junk' and 'Microsoft's junk'. Similar to Safe Mode, but will run 32 bit applications. If it works then you have a software issue with one of the items that was disabled. Sometimes it could even have been one of Microsoft's updates. Perhaps you can use a Restore Point from there IF you know about when it began.

I got this from Dell about restoring back to factory settings without a CD. YOU WILL LOSE ALL PREVIOUS DATA!! This is also if your system is still as it was from the factory with all the software they preloaded still on it. Apparently a copy of the original OS is hidden inside a partition apart from Windows. Dell's website has the procedure here:

https://www.dell.com/support/contents/fr-fr/category/Product-Support/Self-support-Knowledgebase

First is to remove all the cables, and external goodies from the PC. Except, of course, your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If it doesn't work for you then click on how to do a manual reinstall under step 4.

GOOD LUCK.
