PLEASE HELP Windows boot up error

[herBS]

My self built of made in March is giving me an error in startup. I didn't change any hardware. I'm getting a 0x000000F4 error and I'm really frustrated I checked my bios system explorer and nothing has changed. It still detects my hard drive and everything I even opened my PC to check the cables. Please tell me what's wrong. Is it a software I recently installed? Am I going to have to use the system restore? Please help in shook frustrated and I can't stop thinking about it I'm about to leave somewhere but thanks for the help.

2 things i would try before system restore. when at the advanced boot options screen (F8 during boot) would be to select the "last know good configuration" option. if that doesn't work try "resolution mode" (same screen as the last know good configuration) to rule out a bad display driver. other than that a system restore would be the way to go

Isn't it dangerous taking out the CMOS battery? Do you think it would be a good idea taking it to a repair shop?

Also I'll try pressing f8 before taking the CMOS battery out.

taking out the CMOS batter in my experience has never been dangerous. I have been working with computer for over 15 years now and I have taken out countless CMOS batteries and put them back into the board and I have never had an issue.

I would definitely try what the Captain has suggested.

how soon do you get the error? can you even log into windows? if you can you can always post up the dump files the computer makes and we can read what is really causing the problem.

Of course if you are not completely comfortable touching or tinkering certain aspects of your computer you can always take it to a repair shop but that is your call

Captain I'm on mobile so I don't know how to reply to you but I tried doing last known for configuration and my PC booted up. What do I do now to fix the problem? Or if it fixed and what did it so if it did?

ok there im on my desktop i used the first option you gave me (last known good something) and it booted up, is the problem fixed? IF it is what did it do?

Last good known configuration:
It's a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly. Every time you turn your computer off and Windows shuts down successfully, important system settings are saved in the registry. If a problem occurs, you can restart your computer using those settings. For example, if a new driver for your video card is causing problems, or an incorrect registry setting is preventing Windows from starting correctly, you can restart your computer using Last Known Good Configuration

problem could be fixed. Run your computer for a while. Do a shutdown or a restart. If everything works well than you are good
