I've been trying to start up my computer for the past two hours... but to no avail it isn't working. I tried the Start-up repair wizard and it told me that the issue wasn't able to be fixed. I looked at the information about the problem signatures and OS version... and tried looking it up on google and I have come up with absolutely nothing.This is what the repair program gave me.

Problem Signature 01: 6.1.7600.16485
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16485
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 89
Problem Signature 05: autofailover
Problem Signature 06: 1
Problem Signature 07: norootcause

Prior to this my computer started getting rediculously slow, programs were freezing, and i had an incredibly hard time getting my virus program (Microsoft Security Essentials) to work... (not the best I know... but I can't afford a good one) Any insight? Please help!

Hi, horriblewithtech! My nick name is CompCav and I will be assisting you with your Malware/Security problems. Please make sure you read all of the instructions and fixes thoroughly before continuing with them. If you have any questions or you are unsure about anything, just ask and I will help you out.

If you have resolved the issues you were originally experiencing, or have received help elsewhere, please let me know so that this topic can be closed.


Please make sure you are saving and printing the instructions out prior to each fix, this way you will have them on hand just in case you are unable to access this site. One of the steps I will be asking you to do requires you to boot into Safe Mode and this process will be much easier for you to perform if the instructions are printed out for you to follow.

If you are ready to get started, please review and follow these guidelines so that we resolve your issues in a timely and effective manner:

• Logs from malware removal programs (OTL is one of them) can take some time to analyze. I need you to be patient while I analyze any logs you post.
• Please make sure to carefully read any instructions that I give you. Since I cannot see or directly interact with your computer I am dependent on you to "be my eyes" and provide as much information as you can regarding the current state of your computer.
• If you're not sure, or if something unexpected happens, do NOT continue! Stop and ask!
• These instructions have been specifically tailored to your computer and the issues you are experiencing with your computer. These instructions are not suitable for any other computer, even if the issues are fairly similar.
• Do not do things I do not ask for, such as running a spyware scan on your computer. However, the one thing that you should always do, is to make sure your anti-virus definitions are up-to-date!
• Please do not use the Attachment feature for any log file. Just do a Copy/Paste of the entire contents of the log file inside your post and submit.
• You must reply within four days failure to reply will result in the topic being closed!
• Please do not PM me directly for help. If you have any questions, post them in this topic. PM me only if I have not responded to your last post in 2 days.
• Lastly, I am no magician. I will try very hard to fix your issues, but no promises can be made. Also be aware that some infections are so severe that you might need to ultimately reformat your hard drive and reinstall the operating system.
  Don't worry, this only happens in severe cases, but it sadly does happen. Please have the software and storage media for backing up your data available.

Step 1.

You can do a back up of key files:

Here is a guide for backing up your data:

Enter System Recovery Options.

To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:

• Restart the computer.
• As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears.
• Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item.
• Select English as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
• Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
• Select your user account an click Next.

On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:

Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
[*]The tool will start to run.
[*]When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.[/list]

Step 3.

unfortunately at this point i'm unable to get to the system recovery, the only thing that I have been able to do is get into the Bios. I managed to get the computer to turn on once by taking the Bios battery out all together but I'm fairly afraid to do anything else to my Bios otherwise. Other than that though, my computer goes directly to the no bootable device available, please insert boot disc. Is there a way to get to system recovery through the Bios?

[CompCav]

Step 1

Try to recover your data using the bootable Puppy Linux that I linked you to.


Step 2

What is the make and model number of your computer?

Do you have a recovery CD? If not do you have access to another windows 7 machine that you could make one on and we can use it on this machine?


Regards,

CompCav
