Try a startup repair:

If you want/need, you can also rebuild the whole bootloader: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392

I would also suggest you look into your ram settings - voltage and timings - make sure they are set to mfg specs.

2 sticks of ram or 4? Have you added ram recently?

Any overclocking?

i tried startup repair and it says no problems have been found and i got 4 1gb sticks of ocz sli DDr2 memory timing 5-5-5-15-2T had to change the timings when i got the ram cuz it wouldnt start up any suggestions would be appreciated im not sure what to change but i also went into the bios and changed the boot order to hardrive 1st and cd rom 2nd

winload.exe is part of the boot process. It has nothing to do with RAM.

Did you rebuild the boot loader, as suggested in the second part of my post?
