The Error:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\Windows\System32\Config\System
My attempts at fixing.
1) Tried chkdsk \R
Result: Got further into windows but still did not totally boot
2) Put in Windows CD and did a Windows Repair
Result: Booted into windows but system was extreamly slow
3) Got new hard drive and installed a fresh copy of windows
Result: Worked fine for a while and booted and shut down a number of times, but while I was shutting down I got a blue screen of death and then when I rebooted the original error message has come up again.
Could it be a RAM problem? As it was shutting down windows. Maybe it had trouble releasing stuff from memory?
Could it be the motherboard. Most of the time if it's a weird error it's usually because of the motherboard. None of the capacitors look blown but hey any part could fail.
I've told them to get a new pc but this is a nice looking Biostar Ideq, any suggestions?
