| 1341481 | 2013-05-15 20:45:00 | I've just installed the latest win7 updates and now my PC won't boot. It gets to the swirly windows logo and then I get flash of a BSOD and it tries to reboot. This also happens if I try safe mode and last good configuration. I've tried a startup repair and it says it can't automatically fix it. The extended info implies the system disk is corrupted. I can't do an offline system restore because the OS is not recognised. So where do I go now? I'm currently running the Paragon repair booted from CD, and it is checking the disk. Any other ideas? |

Dont think yesterdays update would have crashed Win7. Well it was fine here, installing them on the netbook MS created an ISO / fixit cd for the above update crash (www.microsoft.com) |

| 1341485 | 2013-05-15 21:39:00 | The crash last mth (with KB2823324) only affected 32 bit, that's why the fixit cd is for 32 bit only | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Are you 32 or 64 bit. :) |

| 1341487 | 2013-05-15 21:59:00 | It's 64 bit win7 professional. I've tried chkdsk from the windows install disk and it says it fixed a couple of errors, but still can't boot. I can boot into Vista or Linux (different physical disks) so it is not a fundamental hardware problem. I'm just running chkdsk from within Vista. When that has completed I'll re-boot and do the F8 thing to see if I can read the BSOD. |

| 1341489 | 2013-05-15 22:33:00 | OK, I tried F8, but still can't interrupt the BSOD. I get to the usual "Windows did not start normally" screen, and whatever I select I eventually get the BSOD. How do I disable automatic restart if I can't get into the OS? Is it a BIOS option? |

| 1341490 | 2013-05-15 22:41:00 | You press F8 / hold it down till the menu comes up. Then select disable auto restart, then reboot | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
