simple question

Q: IS MY HARD DRIVE BURNT?

LIKE…….. TOAST? LIKE A GOOD INSULT? LIKE HAROLD AND KUMAR? LIKE THAT GUY WHO TRIED TO TAKE A SWIG FROM THE BREATHALYZER? LIKE A NOOB TRYING TO GET RID OF MALWARE? LIKE THAT FOREST RANGER WHO GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING 7 TIMES AND THEN COMMITTED SUICIDE BECAUSE HE GOT DUMPED?


blue screen normal start:

blue screen safe start:

Not necessarily hard drive related.

Looks like a driver got corrupted.

Here's a guy with nearly your identical problem after a malware clean up: http://www.thathomesite.com/forums/load/co…3622621.html?15

Anyways, it appears that you might be able to choose "Last Known Good Configuration" from the windows advanced boot menu that you can get by pressing F8 right before windows starts to boot.

wow. i tried that when first freaking out (blue screens make me go kinda nutty) but did it again for shits n giggles and now, low and behold.. SHE'S ALIVE!!! i can boot normaly again! woo! *promptly loads half of hard drive on to flash stick* (literally). have i just undone all the fixes made by malwarebytes?

You just reverted back to a previous copy of the registry that was made the last time the system booted OK. Any changes since then have been undone in the registry only. Files should not have been modified.

thx.
