Hello benny1man,
Have you tried to repair the file system from an elevated command prompt ?.
Try this and post your results.
If you have trouble getting in to your OS, try safe mode, F8 on boot-up.
Also, have you added any software/hardware to your system, or had to perform a hard shutdown ?.
Good luck.

i cant get onto OS when booting it takes a long time, then it gives me a quick flash BSOD and restarts the computer, same thing occures no matter wat mode i run it on.

Can you run the SFC command from the command prompt? Press F8 and choose safe mode with command prompt. Does your pc have a recovery partition?

 

[benny1man]

yeah i tried that after loading all the files quick BSOD again and restart.

If you cant get in to the OS, or stay there long enough to do anything, then a repair with the original disc is the best option. It may turn out to be hardware related, but for now, i would try the repair.
Good luck and post your results.

right now i have a repair disk i downloaaded and burnt onto a disk, my problem was that when i load the repair disk it shows black screen with white mouse. if you think this is the problem i will try the real disk this week at my dads house.

Were you having any problems before this started? So we can try to figure it out if its hardware related!

I would try a repair from the original disc.
But if that does not work, you may end up having to format, and re-install Vista.
