Repeated Booting error: Windows 8

[GoinMad]

Hi!

I am facing a very weird problem. I had windows 7 in my HP Notebook which was running too slow and lagging at times, I thought I should do system restore and did that using HP tool. It was completed successfully, However the very next day it took showed bppt error and took me directly to startup repair and did not show any issue. I reformatted it. and this happened atleast 5 more times when one of my friends suggested I should do a clean reformat and install new OS

I did that. My PC worked well for a week and the same problem reoccured. ever since, I have been formating my PC every 2-3 days.

Please Please help me with this!

Is my hard disk at fault? no disk check shows any error.

In the subject line you write Windows 8; in the text it's Windows 7. Which?

What is the exact boot error? Anything in the Event Viewer?

Are your drivers up-to-date?

I'm a complete noob as far as computers are concerned... drivers are up-to-date I'm hoping. And about windows, I initially had windows 7 when I started having this problem but now I am using Windows 8 and the problem prevails.

Also,the problem is some directory corruption

Some detailed info and guidance in this MS Article about clean boot problems:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135#top

Also, within the Article are the following steps to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot...

1. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.


2. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.


3. Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.


4. Tap or click the Services tab, and then tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box.


5. Tap or click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Service list.


6. Tap or click OK, and then tap or click Restart.


7. After the computer finishes restarting, determine whether the problem still occurs.
   
   • If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 1 through 6, but clear the lower half of the check boxes in the Service list that you originally selected.
   
   
   • If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 through 6, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
   
   
   • If you still experience the problem when only one service is selected in the Service list, this means that the selected service causes the problem, and you should go to step 11. If no service causes the problem, go to step 8.
   
   
   
   
8. Repeat steps 1 and 3 in this section.


9. Tap or click the Startup tab, and then tap or click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Startup Item list.


10. Click OK, and then click Restart.
    
    • If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 8 and 9, but clear the lower half of the checked boxes in the Startup Item list that you originally selected.
    
    
    • If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 8 and 9, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
    
    
    • If you still experience the problem after only one Startup Item is selected in the Startup Item list, this means that the selected Startup Item causes the problem, and you should go to step 11. If no Startup Item causes this problem, a Microsoft service probably causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat steps 1 through 7 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.
    
    
    
    
11. After you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then tap or click to clear the check box for the problem item.
