Friends pc wont boot
He's tried defaulting bios settings and safe mode. Windows loads normally (although hardware profile does come up) then instead of the login screen appearing a blue screen comes up with writing too fast to read, with no escape unless u reboot. This reocurrs!
Thanks from my friend james...

when starting up press F8 then select "do not restart on something or other" cant remember the exact wording. that should allow you to the bluescreen.

You could reinstall it but have you tried safe mode first? If anything else it'll allow you to save your files before you format.

if you need to backup files-
if you have a extra harddrive you can use it to install windows and then drag and drop important files to it
then reinstall windows on the other drive and drp the filesback
i have a old 80gb drive i do this with, i keep all my music/pictures on it JIC something happens and i need to put it back on my main rig

before going down the long winded way of backing up data and reinstalling windows, you could try a windows repair.
