Windows Vista 64 Home premium edition.
My computer has been working great. I get home from work today and
start it up and it seems to work normally. I put my password in to log
into Vista and i get the blue screen of death and my computer shuts
down.
Upon restarting it, it says that Windows failed to shut down properly
and asked me how I wanted to boot. I chose the normal windows mode
figuring it was just a glitch; but it failed to load at all this time
(didn't even get to the password screen).
So I try starting it one more time and it said that windows has failed
to start and recommends running the Windows Start Up Repair; which I
did. After about 10 minutes it said that it didn't find any problems
and if the problem persists to contact the manufacturer and then shuts
down.
Figuring my computer was dead, I tried one more time.... and this time
it started up just fine.
Is there a boot record or something that I can check to see what caused
the problem? The computer is brand new and everything i've installed or
plugged in has been Vista 64 compatible.
I didn't make my recovery disk yet- My Acronis should be here this
week. But now I'm worried that if I make a recovery disk at this point
that it's going to save whatever caused my boot failure.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
