 : 89 th | | | Computer Doesn't Boot I wasn't really doing anything to cause this... I was browsing through some folders, my PC hung, I restarted... it posts, gets through the windows logo screen.... I see the blue background but it doesn't get past the "windows is starting up" screen.... i see the loading meter and it's moving but it just sits here forever...
any ideas what this could be? |

 : 92 nd | | | Either driver or hardware related issue. Happened to me a few hours after updating Nvidia drivers. It would show the Windows loading screen progress bar, then bam.. BSOD. It kept doing this even while trying to jump into safe mode.. I forgot what I did to fix it though.. I think I formatted =/
