Windows 7 Cant startup

[Alberto Bj]

Hello today ive been using my pc and it suddenly froze, cant move anything but the mouse cursor. so maybe i think its just a slight bug so then i forced reboot. now when it starts up its stuck at "starting windows" logo and after a few minutes there will be a fast BSOD but cant read because its too fast then the screen goes black. now it prompts me to Startup repair and start windows normaly, if i choose start windows normaly it will be on the same loop, now when i choose starup repair it prompted me on the startup window. at the moment its repairing for 2 hours and says "attempting repairs.. this might take over an hour to complete" now my question is how long will i have to wait. ive read some old forums that it took them few days before it was completed now i am willing go wait that long but im worried about the pc because it might overheat if i left it there for that long or will it be okay to cancel the repair and not damage anything..? i also tried booting to safemode but while it loads the drivers it jumps back to the startup and wont continue.. is there any other way ? i also got a word that reinstalling is the best way but i wont be geting the installation disk until friday and i need to use my computer ASAP

We can't predict that, really. I had a forced shut down on windows once and went to Startup repair the next time I started my PC and it look about 2 hours to fix whatever it was.

so is it okay just to wait longer? its been running for 2 hours and 30 minutes im willing to wait much longer but worried about the temp of the harddrive

All I know is it can't be stuck there. But it's very rare that Windows is able to find the solution or be able to fix it. Do you think your hard drive is heating? If yes then I'd recommend you to shut it down right now. You should take it to a local computer shop nearby. Repairing probably won't cost you much.

That's okay, but yes, I'd say you turn it off. Just take it to a computer repair shop.
