Notebook stuck on loop?

yourdeadwright

Hey folks
My notebook is stuck on a loop when i strt it, just the load up screen of windows seems to be looping over and over,
Any idea how much this would cost to get repaired
Thanks

try press f8 during boot up and so into safe mode...look at recently installed apps to see if they are causing problems or run antivirus/antimalware scan too

FSL

It could also be caused by a system file being corrupted. I would boot it from a bootable USB stick and back up your data in case the hard disc is failing.

Did you try booting in safe mode? If it boots in safe mode then try a system restore to an earlier date.

To be honest it'd probably cost in the region of 65 - 100 euro, so I'd do what FSL & kaisersoze said first which costs nothing, you don't need to be a computer wizard to press F8 on boot

yoyo

This issue could be a failed hard disk (worst case) or a simple file corruption/malware/virus issue. If you know anyone who knows a bit about computers ask them to help you with the advice above, if you draw a blank, you will be looking at over the 100 possibly if the hard disk needs replacing (and if you require data recovery). Very hard to put a specific price on it, and no two repair shops will be the same with how much they charge.
