Computer Wont Boot In Safe Mode?
Oct 29, 2012
I have a Dell Studio XPS8100 running with Windows7 Home Premium Service Pack1, 64-bit OS.When I purchased it I also had Dell put in a Tv card (Hauppauge WinTv HVR-1250) figuring I might be able to watch some of the Tv Channels from the area where my family lives.Anyway here are the list of issues I have been having over the past couple years. The first issue I noticed was when I went into Windows Media Center and clicked the Internet TV feature or the program, the Windows Media Center program would shut down. So I called Dell and they worked on the issue for a couple of sessions that included numerous hours of my time and might I add the difficulties in understanding the tech, but the end result was that the issue was never fixed and so I just gave up on the tv feature all together and started using the computer to do Cad drawings which is the main reason I had purchased the unit.
Over the next couple of years working with the unit I noticed that once in a while Explorer would stop working and restart itself once in a while, Then the other day I installed a new Cad program and the program would starts itself to the part of the program where I would start using it and then just dissapears of the screen.In the same fashion that Media Center did. So in trying to figure out if I could fix the issue, thinking that perhaps another program might be conflicting with the Cad program, I decided to start the computer in Safe Mode, when I do that the computer boots in safe mode to the Log in window where I have to put my Administrator password and then automaticly restarts itself in Normal mode without letting me put any of my password in.Other things I did was add the title of my cad program to the allow list of the firewall, I have scanned the whole system five times with different Malware and virus program with no virus or infections found.

I can't boot my computer in normal mode or safe mode. When I try to do so, after the "starting windows" page the only things that come up are my mouse, a black screen/background, and a "logonui.exe-bad image- Authui.dll isn't designed to run on windows" error/message (not the exact message). I can't use a system restore (it can't find a restore point), the image recovery tool finds no image to restore from, system repair either doesn't find a problem or can't fix the problem, and basically nothing else works (none of the advanced boot options or other various buttons and tools do anything noticeable). I've even tried to use sfc in command prompt, but whenever I do any sfc things at all (/scannow, verifyonly, verifyfile, etc.) it says there is a system repair pending that requires a reboot. I've restarted 7-8 times and the exact same message keeps coming up. I'm looking for any general help I can get right now, [I can post my computer specifics in an hour when I have time](posted a few). I have an HP pavilion dv6-6135dx wiht Windows 7 x64.Processor: AMD a8-3500m APU, raedon graphics bios vender/version: insyde, f. 20.I'm having trouble getting more info because my computer is still crashing occasionally and I don't really know what else is relevant; if you need more, I might need directions on how to get it. Especially if it involves command prompt.I should also add that it has been crashing more often than I think is normal ever since I got it, but recently it BSODed 3-4 times a day. I have antivirus and also ran a full malwarebytes scan yesterday, and it only found one little issue which was resolved.

I seem to be having quite the problem on a computer of mine. After recently installing the directx sdk I am unable to logon through normal or safe mode. When I try to boot up normally, I log in but then the monitors go black but everything else seems to run. Pressing ctrl alt delete works and brings up the screen again but if I try to select task manager for example the screen goes black again. When I boot up through safe mode the computer restarts seconds after loading the windows logon screen.

my Sony VAIO VGC-LA3 seems to have a problem. I recently did a clean install of windows 7, which was no problem and completely drama free. I then sourced all the relevant drivers and installed a few essential programs and updates to get the machine up and running. I was then prompted into doing a restart so the updates could be installed. Upon restart the machine came on, start up options flashed up as normal and proceeded to the windows loading screen. The screen then goes black and shows no sign of coming back on until I bet the 'blue screen of death' 5 minutes later. The HDD and WIFI light do flash during these 5 mins. Then the computer restarts after the BSOD and says that Windows wasn�t shut down correctly etc� I chose to start normally and the same thing happens again. I then chose to start in Safe Mode With Networking and the machine would go through the start up procedure as expected, loading the OS with only basic drivers. I have tried wiping the hard drive and doing another installation of 7, with no success, and have also tried Vista, with the same result.

Whenever I would boot my computer, the splash screen would hang and would not move onto the password screen. I would then have to restart my computer and activate safe mode so I can access system restore, find a restore point and go back to how it was earlier. I know for a fact that the Windows updates have been the key problem here, so I always backtrack a few system restores before that.
Now, the problem has come back and my restore points are ALL GONE. As I'm typing this, I am running SFC /SCANNOW, and here is the message that comes up at the end:
WINDOWS RESOURCE PROTECTION DID NOT FIND ANY INTEGRITY VIOLATIONS.
Also, I cannot access system protection. On the System page, there are only three options, when there should be four. What is going on here? If I try to restart my computer without safe mode, it will just hang again.

This morning i turned on my PC, and for the first few minutes it worked fine, but then it turned horrible. Everything froze when i attempted to click it or even hover my cursor over it. I tried to open task manager to shut down Firefox, but it took around ~20 minutes for task manager to open. Once everything was closed, I scanned with MBAM Pro and nothing was found, so I read about this on other sites. They said to clean the registry with a program called WiseCleaner. It took me 15 minutes to get it, but when it finished scanning it found 853 problems in the registry. I also defragmented the registry. Also, whenever I try to boot into safe mode, my computer freezes at CLASSPNP.SYS. Not sure what to do now, as no improvement was made.
Specs: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, Intel Core i7 Q740, 6 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon 5850m

I have an ASUS laptop, yesterday i left it alone for a few hours and I came back to a message saying "reselect boot device" I was able to get past that, I am not sure how but I did. Now today if I try to run my laptop in regular start up it freezes about 5 minutes later and then goes to blue screen. I can run my laptop in safe mode and safe mode with networking fine. I do not have any restore points (wasn't aware that windows 7 didn't automatically create restore points) so I can't restore back to a previous version. I can get a boot log and a cbs log. I don't know if its a hardware problem (I dropped my laptop two days ago about a foot and a half and it landed flat, no dents or anything. It worked fine after that) or if its a virus problem. I recently downloaded a new album (same day I dropped my laptop) but it worked fine after that as well.

Computer rebooted after 'starting windows' When starting in safe mode, it rebooted after loading classpnp.sys
This happened after I installed MSE and it detected a Trojan located in c:/windows. On hindsight deleting it was a bad idea.
I've tried using startup repair as well as sfc/scannow. I've also ttried unplugging the hard drives as well as changing the hard drive mode in the BIOS from ide to ADHCI and back.

I tried to install Internet Explorer 9 for testing a website. It prompted me to restart after the install, so I did. It never started back up. Now my computer will not boot into windows except in safe mode and system restore doesn't facilitate at all.
This is my ntbtlog.txt:

After attempting to start my Laptop in Safe Mode, it loaded drivers normally only to crash a few seconds later. A prompt message appears but is impossible to read because Windows immediately reboots upon showing the prompt.

I bought the bleeping Dell Inspiron 560, was to rapidly tap F8 during startup to bring up the "Advanced Boot Options." I saw the guy at Best Buy do it but it did not work on my machine when I got home. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium. The computer came without a manual or any disks.

I have a laptop with broken lcd. So im using it now as desktop, connecting it to an external lcd monitor.Last night I suspected a worm and tried to boot up in safe mode by pressing F8 but couldn't make it work because windows only activate the external monitor by the time it has finished loading drivers. The result was it keeps booting into normal mode.So, I remembered there's another way to boot into safe mode by accessing boot options in msconfig...Now I'm stuck with safemode and cannot do anything because safemode doesnt enable external monitor. I know for sure that I could enter password and get into safemode but I can't tell what should I press or click to access to that msconfig windows again to return boot options to normal state.

So the other day I boot up my computer and try to login under my user account. I get a "The user profile failed the logon. The user profile cannot be loaded" error message. After looking inline i find out how to fix this. The problem is I can't seem to boot into safe mode. It's an Asus motherboard P8H67-M series. I've tried hitting F8 and F5 (as was suggested with Asus boards), but neither of them work. I login under another use and type msconfig form the start menu to try and manually set the computer to boot into safe mode. I get asked for the admin password (my user account is the admin account), so I type is the password and I get a "windows cannot find C:windowssystem32msconfig.exe" error message.

The driver is mismanaging system PTES, and another one I think. So I could not boot into Safe Mode or Normal Mode. Eventually I got through and I cleaned out the registry and had it reinstall video drivers as well. Now all seems to work fine, except that the taskbar refuses to keep Use Small Icons checked, and when I click on Pin this program to taskbar with any random shortcut it does nothing at all.Both these things worked fine before the BSOD spam I had. It's an HP Workstation xw3100 running on the default VGA (video card died, getting a new one) with 2GB of DDR400 RAM (1GB factory RAM from HP) a SATA DVD/RW Drive and a Seagate 80GB 7200RPM HDD, everything else is as it was from the factory.

cannot boot into safe mode for windows 7. Booting normally works fine, and I notice no problems with it. When I try to boot into safe mode (or safe mode with networking..etc.), it doesn't work. It goes through lists of loading drivers for a bit, then the light blue windows login page background comes up, and it says configuring computer.Then the computer reboots. I don't need it for anything vital right now, but I sure don't want to try and fix it in the moment when I do need it.

I am turning on my computer, pressing F8, the boot menu appears (Safe mode window), I choose "Safe mode" and click enter.
The display shows that it is "Loading windows files", then it stucks on a black screen.
I tried it many times but it's the same. I was waiting even 30 minutes but nothing helped.
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
Is the System recovery. startup repair Tool could help me in this case?

My issue is that my PC reboots immediately every time I log in. I try to boot into safe mode using f8. When the option to use safe mode comes up my keyboard its unresponsive. The keyboard is wired and works fine in the bios settings screen. So I cannot boot into safe mode using f8 and it reboots immediately after I log in so I cannot us msconfig.

When I turn on my Acer laptop normally it loads but then completely freezes, not letting me do anything. The only way I can use it is through safe mode. It was working fine before it suddenly broke and it is only a few months old. I thought it might be a virus? I do have up to date anti virus thoug

My set up is or was dual boot Windows 7 rc712 x64 and vista x64 on 2 partitions on the same drive. Suddenly bsod and looped rebooting with windows 7 and I can't even load windows 7 in safe mode. This ocurred after a video crashed in windows 7. I could not load safe mode but I could load vista x64 reguarly(it was a fresh OS I never used). I did a windows 7 upgrade install over the vista when I meant to reinstall on the windows 7.
I had tried to boot from windows 7 disk and couldn't repair the old windows 7 installation. How do I get back to my original windows 7?
Some other babkground info. Prior to all this but maybe unrelated were dreaded nvlddmkm.sys errors even after fresh installs of windows. This error was under my old 32 bit vista right after I changed video cards and occured after windows loads or windows media player opens. My solution was reinstall windows thus I upgraded to windows 7.
My orginal windows 7 custom install(not upgrade) still had some errors though not as many errors and I could boot into safe mode, shut down, then everything was back to normal until the next error. XFX(my video card manufacturer thinks it is a software driver issue and not hardware).

The other night I hit the reset button at the wrong time and ever since then I'm only able to boot W7 in safe mode. I've tried all of the restore points and repair options but nothing works.
I ran chkdsk from safe mode command prompt and corrupt files were found but I can't run chkdsk /F because the partition is in use. When asked if I'd like to schedule one on next start up I say yes but the restart doesn't get far enough to initialize one. It just hands at "Loading Windows" just after the keyboard lights blink.
I've tried to do an upgrade install but you can't do that while booting from the cd or while in safe mode either.
