Do you have an installation or system restore disk that may have been provided with the computer?

I have a similar issue and this seems to be the closest thread to it I've found. I have an HP laptop windows 7 home with the KSOD. The only option available when booting is to push ESC to enter settings. I can get to the bios and system diags no problem but that is all. I tried sys recovery and it fails I tried a system restore but the machine will not reboot to finish the restore it just hangs on the HP logo screen forever. The only thing to do at that point is hit the power but by shutting it down it negates the system restore. I've pulled the HD and hooked it up to another machine via my rosewill data transfer kit and I can access the data and have backed it up. I also ran Norton 360 and MBAM on the drive both coming back clean with the exception of Boot.Pihar which they resolved and after rescan found nothing else. Any help or direction would be appreciated.


Thanks.

I appreciate your quick response however your suggestions cannot be applied due to the nature of the KSOD. So I will try starting a new thread in the Malware forum. Thanks.
