Hello, this is my first post here and I will try my best to describe my issue! Right now, I'm not sure my computer can be recovered at all.
I run Vista Home edition 32bit, on a computer that is less than 2 years old and the hard drive is a terrabyte in size (I know this isn't specific, but it's a gaming computer so the specs should be good). I had been having issues with it, and the hard drive was recently replaced, and it was running just fine.
Yesterday morning when I turned it on, it went through it's start up as normal, and was fine for a few minutes then froze. I rebooted, and it said that Windows was loading, but then it went to a DOS screen saying there was a CHKDSK issue and it would repair it. It went through that process saying "Inserting an index entry with id *xxnumbersxx* into index $SII of file 9". It did this, running through thousands of numbers, saying at the end 123200 security descriptors processed. I just left it alone, and it eventually went to the user log-in screen, which I have never had to do before in my life, and when I click on my user name it automatically says it cannot be verified and its shutting down. I would turn my computer on again, it would get to the Windows Loading screen, then stop, show a blue screen for a split second then reboot itself, and would keep doing this again and again, so I cannot even get into my own computer.
I'm now trying to boot from my system disk, have selected for it to do a start up repair, and am waiting for the results from that. I hope it helps, but I'm really worried.
What I'm basically wondering here, is if anyone has encountered or knows about what I have described here, and can perhaps give me some guidance in fixing it, or just tell me if it's a lost cause. I'm no computer wiz, but I will try anything I can. But at the moment, I can't even get into my computer! I have had the free Avast, Spybot, and another internet protection program running and none of them picked up on any issues.
I hope I haven't been too vague in describing my issue. Thanks for any suggestions!
