My power was turned off to my computer and now it just keeps restarting. I can not get past the Windows screen. It will not let me boot up in any mode. I have tried the SAFE mode and all other options given to me.
Right before it restarts a blue screen flashes up for less than a second and then it re-boots.
I downloaded the Memory test from Microsoft and ran the extended test. It found one error in the MATS+.
Cache - Off
Address - 007f0fd0
Expected - 00000000
Actual - 00010000
Bank 'Bank 0/1': Slot 'A0': 1
I removed the bad memory card. Did the scan again. It checked out but still said that MATS+ Cache was "Off". I rebooted and it still does the same thing.
What else can I do to figure out what is going on?
I got the aut restart to stop so now I can read the blue screen.
It stats:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME"
What do I do now? Anyone know?
