Vista Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically

Yes,that's what I mentioned. The combination chipset,bios memory. I'll bet this never happens with an ASUS mobo ..
The fact of the matter is : This thing occurs while having Vista ! Booting with livedvd bartpe didn't give any problem.

...I've done a couple of clean installs and upgrades of vista OS on a couple of machines...

My point exactly ... I've done numerous installs in all sorts of OS's (linux,unix,windoze,...) on all sorts of hardware ,but the pain this install gave me was to such extend ,that I had to share it with the world ...


Anyway ,if people encounter the same thing as me ,feel free to confirm in this forum thread.

I was having similar problem with vista shutting down with BSOD. So I
installed SP1 thinking that could probably fixe the issue,however, the
installation could not move to stage 2 and was rebooting over and over.
Well, I read this thread and removed 1 memory bar and presto! I was able
to move pass stage 3 and Vista struggled a bit but SP1 was installed and
I am happy again.

Also, just to ensure that I did not have faulty memormy chips I ran a
utility to check them and the results were all fine.

I would suggest you remove 1 memory chip if you're experiencing similar
issues. Who knows, it might work for you just as it did for me.
Thanks fellows!

I am also stuck in an infinite loop of the startup tool which does not solve the problem. Is there a way to bypass this tool and get to Vista? If not, if I get a USB-SATA/IDE cable, will I be able to save all my data?

The problems started when the laptop started getting a blue screen before the startup then it would restart and reboot to Vista. After a month or so, it gave me a blue screen about a video driver I believe (it went quickly) after I watched a DVD movie. Now, it is in the loop. I have done every option possible and checked all the hardware which is doing fine. Any advice??? Thanks in advance.

My last resort was to use Active Boot Disk to recover my files. Active@ Boot Disk. Bootable LiveCD. Backup, Data Recovery, Disk Eraser & more...
This is an excellent tool to fix problems and save data. Easy to use and a lot of options. I got pass the repair and into my hard drive which I got everything off onto either USB or CD. Now I didnt want to waste anymore time figuring out the driver but this software I could have. FYI

I was faced with a similar issue on a machine. I keep getting the BSOD
with error 000000be. I tried using the Startup Repair Tool which failed
to repair the problem and would resume it's unsuccessful repair attempt
after each reboot. I used the Dell Restore to factory condition tool
which would never complete and the machine would go into the endless
Startup Repair Tool cycle again.

I removed 1 of the 2 sticks of memory and did the Dell Restore tool.
Upon it's successful completion, I put the memory back in and the
machine is running fine now.

Hi,

Shut down the system, open the box and push down on the clips at either end
of the memory stick(s) in question. Consult your system's motherboard manual
if you are unsure where the sticks are located on your system. Be sure to
ground yourself prior to touching any internal component to reduce the risk
of damage from static electricity.

Hi Im new to thia forum and have had the same problem ever since I
downloaded vista service pack one. I really can't lose my files as it's
all my uni work-I feel incredibly sypid now not to have backed them up.
I have a Toshiba Satellite and really don't know much at all about
computers and didn't understand a lot of the stuff said. What is
removing sticks of memory?? I googled it but no luck]

Thanks

Same problem, Turn on Computer, starts to load then it blinks what is
shown in the picture, which was fast to read. (not the loading part
where you press the F8, F12 etc keys but the one after) Non of the
computer start ups options, safe mode included doesn't work neither does
the start up repair work. It happened after I installed windows service
pack 2 from the windows updates.
