I just bought a new computer from Cyberpower PC and am having all kinds of trouble with it. I finally got it to work last night after reinstalling windows from the recovery disk. However, Now I am getting 2 blue screen of death messages. When I try start up it asks whether I want to "Start Windows Normally" or "Launch Startup Repair". When I select Launch Startup Repair I get a BSOD message saying UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. When I launch Windows Normally I get a BSOD saying STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Verification of a KnownDLL failed. system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000020 (0x009224e0 0x00000000). The system has been shut down.

I have trying booting in safe mode and launching from last known good configuration and that did not work. I tried booting from the recovery disk and running chkdsk which, also, did not work. I have tried booting from the recovery disk and doing a system restore as well. When I boot to the recovery disk and select "Repair Computer" it says that "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows." This does not make sense to me as I just reinstalled Windows from that same recovery disc.

Furthermore, when I try to boot the computer from safe mode it freezes at avgidsha.sys.

I am going to try using an AVG recovery disc to disable AVG and determine whether or not that is a the problem. However, I have had so many problems with this new computer and am unsure whether it is a hardware or a software problem. And if it is a software problem whether it is a bad driver or bad copy of Windows 7. Thanks for any help in advance!

It sounds like your recovery disk is Windows 7 that was then updated to SP1, not a recovery version of Windows 7 SP1 directly, which would cause that sort of cannot repair error.

I would probably try downloading a legal trial version of the same Windows 7 version that you have: Home Premium, Pro, Ultimate, x86 or x64, whichever from Digital River and then do a clean reinstall and use your serial to activate once it seems to be working. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to contact Cyberpower for a solution.
