Try booting in safe mode, then restore to when it was booting.
Hit F8 key before Windows logo somes up. You should get a screen with one of the options Boot Safe Mode. When it's booted, go to System Restore (in accessories) and choose a restore point that last booted.

This thread is fine, since you have some history of what caused the no booting. But it is always good to start new threads for each issue. It's easier for others to find help when they have similar issues.

well i cant restore to a different spot, and i cant open in safe mode becouse when i push f8 it only tells me which device to boot up,. so now i have a hard drive problem. ima post a new one in the hard drive section.
