    Hi,

    Have you recently added new software to your system?

    Reboot and begin tapping F8 key at the manufacturer's logo screen

    Select Last known good configuration

    Press Enter

    These actions might prevent an error like this from happening again:

    1. Download and install updates and device drivers for your computer from Windows Update.
    2. Scan your computer for computer viruses.
    3. Check your hard disk for errors.

    You may need to perform  an in-place reinstall to repair problems with the Windows Installation to prevent similar issues in the future.

    solo vengo a responder esto por que tu respuesta resulto ser muy estupida, el error en concreto no deja iniciar el sistema, me pregunto yo... ¿como diablos voy a instalar la ultima version de mis controladores si no puedo iniciar windows? ¿como voy a escanear mi computadora por virus o malware si no puedo iniciar windows? ¿eres tonto, o particularmente estupido? un saludo.
