vista wont boot
my computer was working fine a few days ago.. then after installing my blackberry desktop manager it stopped working. the computer would not boot properly! it will say "monitor going to sleep" and then it will start up again and it would go to the start of the start up and then it would freeze and then a blue screen comes on for about half a second and i dont have time to read it.

i need help.

i tried alot of things to make it work, but it was an epic fail.

sorry for the length lol

That's the thing!! It won't even go into safe mode! I took out my harddrive and put it into another computer and it worked fine! So my diabl guess is that my mother board is shot! :/

can it go into bios because it could not be the mother board but it could be the RAM

or the program that you installed may have overwrited a file for vista start up

Hi since the last change you mention is the blackberry software it may point to it as the possible cause unless you made other changes try changing the boot order to cd\dvd first and try to boot from your install or recovery disc and run a restore or repair from the disc

Hi ok then download memtest86+ iso unzip it and burn to a disc use img burn for that next boot from the disc and test one stick at a time then swap them over and rerun the test should run for at least 7 passes each time so it will take time http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http:/...y&ved=0CAkQygQ

Hi try tapping F2 on boot you may get into the bios you can change the boot order there to boot from cd\dvd first this may also allow you to run a restore or repair
