Question:
My computer has problems starting up?

Around 2 weeks ago I was online when my browser suddenly started lagging, then while waiting for it to finish loading, I got that Blue Screen that says it crashed, and is collecting data for the memory dump.
My computer then restarts itself. It then took forever to boot up, taking around 10 to 12 minutes just to get past the windows logo. Then after it finally boots up it's logging me in, and it shows the blue screen again. This process repeats up to five times, until it goes to the start up recovery. The recovery always scans, and always suggests the system restore. After restoring it still takes 10 to 12 minutes to get past the windows logo, and still has the high chance of going into the Blue crash screen.
To use my computer, I just get lucky really, that it logs on without crashing.
When it doesn't have a problem logging in it tells me that there was a problem with one of the systems drivers. "Tages" is the driver in question, I think. I don't really know what that driver even does, I'm pretty sure it didn't come by default either- I just know I've had it for about a year, and this is the first time I've had a problem like this.
My computer runs windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit- if this helps any.

First thing is to run diagnostic on it. When you press the power button start tapping the F key that is for your puter and the BIOS menu will open. Select diagnostics if you have one and test everything to find any errors. If the hard drive fails you going to have to get a new one and order the recovery DVD from the manufacturer. If everything passes, it sounds like the OS is corrupted. If you have a system repair CD or a Windows install DVD, boot from the DVD/CD and run repair from it. You will have to access the boot device options in the BIOS to make it boot from the DVD/CD. If you do not have a system repair CD you can make one from a puter that has the same OS as yours. If that does not fix it then your probably going to have to reload your OS to get back up and running. You will need to recover your data and files before doing that. If you wish to try to recover your files go to the link below and read on how to download and use a Linux Live CD to boot the system to recover what you want. If you have a Windows 8 puter then you need to turn off secure boot before using the CD. The Live CD will also allow you to check out the rest of the puter.

Once you have recovered what you need you can reload your OS. When you press the power button start tapping the F key that is for your puter and the BIOS menu will open, select the recovery mode. This will reset your puter back to factory settings.



Manufacturers BIOS menu F key



HP/Compaq ESC



Sony F2



ASUS Del



Gateway, eMachines F10



Acer, Dell, Fijitsu, Gigabyte, Toshiba F12



If this is a custom built puter or your manufacturer is not listed you will have to look up which Function key opens the BIOS menu.



This is what a BIOS menu will looks like. Yours might be different, I am posting this one to give you an idea of what to look for.



F1 = System Info



F2 = System Diagnostic



F9 = Boot Device options



F10 = BIOS Setup



F11 = System recovery

This problem is generally brought on by an outdated or faulty driver.



There are numerous methods to fix this specific issue.



One would be to go to the manufacturer website and look for the actual updated driver yet this would demand a little bit of tech ability.



You can always try a more standard option.



Thing i recommend here is giving Driver Robot a go. It is going to automatically find out if you might have any outdated or faulty driver and will replace it with the good one.

So you are telling me that you completely re-installed Windows? (As the system restore) If not, that might be your best bet. You can try running programs like Ccleaner, Spybot S&D, and Malwarebytes, but if they don't help then you should reinstall Windows, and if that doesn't help you should find a trusted computer serviceman (or the original manufacturer if it is under warranty) to look at it. (It might be hardware)
