I'm bumping this - hope that's okay around here, if not, let me know! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I managed to get a Windows disk and when I ran startup repair, it couldn't fix it but it did tell me the root cause: "MBR is corrupt. Repair action: Disk metadata repair Result: Failed. Error code = 0x45d Time taken = 32448 ms"

Hi, I have a Dell XPS laptop running Windows 7. When I boot it up, I get a message that says "Operation system not found". After pressing a key, I have the option to choose a boot drive, run diagnostic tests, or go into BIOS. The computer passes all the tests, and changing the SATA operation to...

Hey everyone, I'm having a really strange problem with my self-built Windows 7 computer. I did a clean install a few months ago because of some BSOD problems and it's been fine until today. I was met with a couple blue screens (two different error messages which I don't remember since I'm not...

So having had no responses, I decided to reinstall windows, as I'd been planning on doing that anyway for a while. It's worked fine for a couple days. But then I shut down to install 164 windows updates, which were clearly because I installed a fresh copy of Win7. Now I can't get my computer to...

Hi everyone, I've been having a problem with a blue screen every time I start up my computer. It gets to the windows initializing screen (the picture of the windows logo with the floating lights around it) but after that it goes to a blue screen, restarts, and prompts for System Recovery, which...

Thanks to everyone that's responded so far, this is a lot of great information. I will uninstall superantispyware right away, and as a side note I have (perhaps foolishly) disregarded antivirus software in recent years because I think I'm a careful internet user and I just assume I won't do...

I will try to write it down next time I see it. The problem is it has never happened while I'm actually using my computer. I built my PC about 2 years ago and the specs are the following: Intel i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM ASUS Sabertooth Z77 XFX HD7850 2GB/ASUS HD7850 2GB...

When I leave my computer on by itself it will repeatedly get a blue screen and restart. This has never happened while I am actually using the computer, only when it's sitting there on. Here is one of the dump files. I have tons of them, I can upload them all but they probably all say the same...

I have no antivirus software running.

I have taken ownership already. The problem is I get a message saying that I need PERMISSION from myself (the same entity that shows up as having ownership of the file/folder).
