Is windows error recovery normal?

It can be many things:

Windows system files corrupt (basically what your computer needs to run)

Partition corruption (think of it as rooms, if you can't access a room you can't get anything out of it, same for a computer)

Boot files corrupt (think of it as an alarm clock, if your alarm clock is broke it will never go off, hense if your boot files are corrupt your computer will never start)

Its difficult explaining to people who do not know much about computers to fix them.

Search on google about chkdsk and sfc (as the guy mentioned), and also google about system restore and the command prompt.

Because of your problem you do need to know Windows commands to perform fixing operations, and for someone who doesn't know about computers, this type of task is daunting, that is why many people call up a computer technician.

In fact all computer technicians do, is perform many of the operations you can fit on the Internet.

Have you got any important files on your computer? If so I wouldn't suggest trying these fixing operations yourself if you do not know how to. If theres nothing important on the computer you can google the above infomation OR

tell us your computer make, there is a recovery partition (room full of stuff!) in which your computer can reinstall and is back to normal, like when you first had it.

This is the best way to put it.

This is what you can try IF there is no important information:

On Startup , tap F8 loads, until a list of information comes up, select "Repair your computer". Wait and another list will come up, you will see the command prompt at the bottom, a black box icon usually saying command prompt. Click it, and just type this in:

chkdsk C: /f /r
It will ask you to schedule for next reboot, type yes

Next:
type this in:.
sfc /scannow

Let it run.

Also if you have important files search xcopy, its a command to copy important files to a specified location.

What does these commands do? The chkdsk is a utility to basically check your disk, /f means recover corrupt files, /r means try and recovery bad sectors (think of rooms again!)

sfc /scannow, all this does is another file check.

Next:

restart your computer. Doesn't work? Go back into startup repair, command prompt and type rstrui.exe, it is called System Restore, find a date on the list when you know it was last working.

(NOTE: This next step is to bring back your computer to when you first bought it, meaning nothing will be left on it, only do this after you have tried all fixing operations, and if you have research a bit more on the Internet as well,this is a last resort operation)

Next:

If this does not work

If these do not work after it is completed you may try holding down Alt on your keyboard and tapping F10 (On some systems this is a recovery utility). It may not work, it varies on computers.

ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE NO IMPORTANT FILES.

If I hook up my hp to charge it, the screen goes black. It stays like that and it won't stop until I take out the charger. I'm upgrading to apple:)

Google more of it, find someone in your area who can fix problems and won't choose to format your computer as a first solution or go to a store specialized in computers.

It's difficult to diagnose without actually seeing the computer. Are you comfortable with running things like sfc and chkdsk in the recovery console? If not, I'd suggest getting someone else to look at it in person.

same happened to me yesterday, i was playing games on my friend's laptop when he was out, and suddenly the same error happened as u said.
when he came back, he told me that it might have happened due to overheat.
so i guess it's a problem related to heat sink so get it checked by an expert. best luck

Anyone?

Go to google for this stiff. Here is not the place
