HELP!!! No RAM on startup

[lbass360]

Before i describe this, i have no idea why i did it. It was an exteremely idiotic move. Please don’t ask why

In MSconfig, i accidentally messed with the startup ram and set it to 0 and restarted.now i get the blue screen of death whenever i boot up.

What I’ve tried:

• 
  Resetting with saving files
  System restore
  Booting in safe mode
  Trying to access msconfig through the provided cmd
  Doing the console commands that every YouTube video on the blue screen said to do
  Contact Microsoft support

Additional questions that might be helpful

• 
  Can i access msconfig thorough the cmd in advanced options
  Is there any way to save my files now, or is it too late

The only solution that I have been able to come across is a clean install. I hope that this isn’t all that i can do

Problem with reset saving files is one of the files it saves IS msconfig so yeah, that won't work too well.

Can i access msconfig thorough the cmd in advanced options

maybe.. its worth a try
I guess you getting to the advanced options through the menu after Auto repair?
if so go advanced/Troubleshoot/Advanced/Command prompt
type "Start msconfig"

As for saving data, that too can be done from CMD

I typed notepad in which obviously opened the notepad. From there I went to file > open which opened a file explorer. I plugged an external hard drive into my USB port, and I searched for all of my most irreplaceable files and copied them onto the external drive, then once I finished, I plugged my drive into my Mac and confirmed that all the files are all there.

well, another option would be a full reset but that is more or less same thing as fresh install, but would only touch the C partition (full installs generally want you to wipe entire hdd). Resets only touch 1 partition so if you had data on others, it would be kept. Same applies to other hdd.

see if this old solution works:

text from link is below:

I ran into the same problem and solved it...

The correct syntax should be:

bcdedit /deletevalue {default} truncatememory

where "{default}" is the name of the identifier where "truncatememory" is listed by "bcdedit". Also set it to something else by typing:

bcdedit /set {default} truncatememory 0x100000000

Remember to always take a backup before you start:
bcdedit /export c:\bcd_backup
To restore it type:
bcdedit /import c:\bcd_backup

and a help file can always be found when typing
bcdedit /?
or more specific help about an option:
bcdedit /? <option>
e.g. "bcdedit /? /set"
