Startup in endless loop.

I have an HP 7300 It has worked fine for years. Tonight when I came home, my wife informed me that when the pc rebooted it went into an endless loop. It starts by showing the blue HP invent screen. If you let it go, it comes up with a screen where you can start normally or recover, then it goes to a second black screen indicating that there was a power failure and that you can boot in safe mode, safemode networking, etc.

If you select recovery on the first pass, you can choose to selectr R for recovery, F to reformat, or q to quit. If you select R for recovery the bottom will show the white dashed line filling, then a blue mountain scene with a moon in the left corner apears, and you have to hard restart.

If you let it go and restart normally, it goes into an endless loop of restarting.

Last known good configuration just loops too. Safe mode goest through a listing of all drivers, then re-loops. Same for safe with networking.

When I ran and hit f6 I was able to run in recovery and safe mode, then got a blue problem screen indicating windows shut down to avoid damage the technical information is:
***Stop: 0x000000024 (0x00190203, 0x8A0B2EF0, OxC000102, ox00000000)

Any suggestions how to get out of the loop and restart?

Maybe try Recovery Console and do a chkdsk /r to see if there is any damage to the file system.

If you download the recovery console ISO you need to burn the ISO file to a blank CD using imgburn or similar burning software. [You want to use the option of "Write Image File to Disc" in imgburn in order to make the CD bootable]

Read this page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654 to get to a command prompt in recovery console to use the chkdsk /r command.

Basically, Press "R" to repair windows. Select 1 to enter your Windows files. Enter your password or if you don't have one set just hit <enter>. Then type in chkdsk /r and see if it finds/fixes any errors. Then reboot w/o the CD.

 

Sach2 has the right stuff goin there, just to add something as well, in the future, don't post your E-mail on any forum or public post, if you can Google it, don't post it. Reason being, there are hundreds of bots on the internet that all day troll the internet for peoples E-mail addresses (like yours) to sell to people who send SPAM mail etc. So by posting on forums with your E-mail your opening up a door to the SPAM mail and inviting them inside.

Just so you know
