Hi,
I was watching this video today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lymxaasSAgo&list=PLtsz2Fwuf5bSztxL-IzSGuRNLSVYEKc7T after I did everything he said on this video and restarted my computer, my computer starts up, but when it's loading Windows 7 it my computer gets a blue screen and immediately turns off and restarts. This process just keeps repeating. When I use Startup Repair on System Recovery Options it is unable to fix it but I think it has to do something with a registry issue. I know in the video I think he makes you change something in the registry. Is that the problem? Please help as quick as you can I spent a lot of money on this computer and i'm really scared it won't work or I'll lose all my data. Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
The first and most obvious response to a crash is to restart the computer. If your machine manages to reboot successfully, that's a positive sign. However, the crash may have left behind errors with the PC's registry.

The registry provides directions for every program on a Windows computer, telling your PC what to do next. If there's an error in your registry, your computer might not know what to do. It's probably not a great idea to try fixing the registry on your own. There is software that can do it for you; either search for a free registry cleaner, or either System Mechanic or PerfectSpeed, both of which include tools to fix a corrupted registry.

If your computer won't restart, your next move is to try restarting it in Safe Mode. Sometimes faulty drivers are the root cause of a crash -- rebooting the computer in Safe Mode disables most of those drivers in the hopes of getting the machine restarted, and perhaps recovering any lost data.

To reboot in Safe Mode, press the F8 key while restarting -- the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, providing choices in the Boot menu. Newer versions of Windows provide several Safe Mode options to choose from -- use the arrow keys (not the mouse) to make a selection, and press Enter.

Bear in mind that when the computer restarts in Safe Mode, it will look, feel and function differently than you're used to -- for example, it will display using fewer colors in a smaller screen resolution, and certain components won't work. In other words, you won't want to use the computer in Safe Mode for very long. Once you've successfully restarted in Safe Mode, work quickly to restore and back up any lost data, make any changes to your system setup and then reboot again normally.

While in Safe Mode, you can attempt to determine the cause of the crash to either disable or uninstall the culprit and avoid future trouble. Windows keeps track of the programs you're using in the Event Viewer -- this is a good place to look for the cause of a crash. Click Start, go to the Control Panel, and click on Administrative Tools. From there, double-click on the Event Viewer and choose the System section. Error symbols will be marked with a red exclamation point, suggesting which program(s) may have caused the crash.

Another solution:

I have since JUNE tried to localize the issue I had with a similar crash when launching 3D-applications. Just caused a system crash, no restart or anything. Just shut down. So now I have run all tests and troubleshooting technologies out there - NO ERRORS.

I found out my problem was my PSU is too weak. I thought I had a stronger PSU for some reason but I guess I must've dreamt that, haha.

Also, if this is not the solution for YOU - run BurnInTest - tests EVERY single thing you can test and troublshoot.

Anyways.
The problem is when I launched these specific applications (mostly new games, old ones work just fine and/or new ones with different graphic engines, don't know exactly why some work but it has something to do with the GFX technologies used in the games I bet.

So yeah, when I launched these applications the GFX card (EVGA Geforce GTX760) spiked the power so high my PSU couldn't handle it - but once I get in after a few system crashes I can play for as long as I like.

Check if you have sufficient PSU power and see if that solves your problem.

I would like to submit this on as many boards as possible as sooooooo many people have issues with this is unbelieavable.

If you have links to other boards or something similar for me, feel free to e-mail them to me at ginnungagap.j@gmail.com so I can help out with this solution.
