7 Premium x 64 was going nicely. Yesterday it froze up. I restarted it and it as slow and down the bottom right hand corner of the screen was a message that it is not a legitimate version of windows. Which is false.
I restarted again and got a black screen with a white pointer. Nothing else would come up. Safe mode would not work. I did a restore back 2 days and eventually it came good.
What happened ? anyone see this before?
I have indeed, it is caused by system file corruption. Download UBCD and burn it to CD, it has all the memory testing and disk diagnostic utilities on it plus many more besides. Run MemTest and Windows Memory Diagnostic, as well as the disk utility for your brand of hard drive (or Seatools if you aren't sure). All you have to do is to boot up with the disc in the drive, select the utility that you want to use, and it will run.
