Serious Start-up issues in Vista

thenix · 08-06-2009, 03:02 PM

My computer (Windows Vista) went blue and restarted. I ran the repair wizard after that and it didn't work. I can start the system in safe mode but when i run anti-virus and spybot programs they eventually stop scanning (one program shows it stops on a file 'ntoskrnl.exe'). It starts with the last known working configuration but all the startup programs are not working and need to be closed (eg. sttray.exe - unable to locate component and it also says that numerous tray applets have stopped working and need to close). I just cant seem to get around it and i need suggestions before i restore my system to factory settings. Thanks!

Disable Automatic Restart and you will be able to read the Error Codes on the BSOD.

I'm getting several blue screen different scenarios. One gives me the blue screen and the technical information is STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x89FC0D90, 0x89fC0EDC , 0x82C5C400.

Another gives me the error message STOP: c000021a (fatal system error) status 0x00000000 (0xc0000221, 0x001004f4)

Another says REGISTRY_ERROR tech info STOP: 0x00000051 (0x00000013, 0x92A7CA20, 0x82C49D44, 0xC0000102)

Initially i got the STOP Code - C0000218

which was followed by :- The registry cannot load the file systemroute/system32/config/sam (or security or components. It seems to have affected multiple files becuase each file kept changing with each attempt to load windows)

It says it is corrupt, absent or not writable.

NB: Also, odly, there are no system restore points wen I start it in safe mode

My system specs are:

Dell XPS 1530
3gb Ram
Intel Core2Duo 5545
GeForce 8600GT
Windows Vista Premium 32bit (Service Pack 1)

Thanks in advance!
