Because of a lot of programs that keeps your computer slow & sometimes it may lead to B.S.O.D ((Blue Screen Of Death))?

I don't get the blue screen of death.

I don't get the blue screen of death.

Just uninstall some of programs that may lead your computer easily shut down by installing some few updates to your laptop or computer..

I've experienced that problem

Alright gonna need a few info on this

1. Download Speccy and post the screenshot (make sure to take the ss while you are playing)
2. Post the ss of your task manager tasks.

Edit: What was one pretty weird video, try using the discard changes option, because using the save changes option will actuall reboot your pc.

So you can't even get past the setup?

I had this problem 2 days ago on my pc it kept restarting What you need to do is get to safe mode and go to Windows system recovery or if you have a extra Windows CD laying around use that one to start it off via CD and click Windows recovery via the CD this wil just recover the system and load you back into Windows you wont lose anything but this fixed the problem for me and it might fix it for you.

faulty psu could be one reason

Blue Screen (a.k.a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)) occurs when your system encounters an error and is not able to recover thus switching itself off to prevent further complications and most importantly, loss of data.

From the video you posted, your machine isn't allowing you to get past the BIOS setup and NOT showing you a BSOD

From my experience, I suggest you to head into the BIOS setup and navigate into the "Boot Settings" or related terms, make sure the boot priority is set in the following order;

1st - Optical Disk Drive
2nd - Hard Disk Drive
3rd - Network/USB Drive

Doing so will prioritize booting using the "CD" otherwise known as the Optical Disk Drive. If your system still fails to boot up windows normally here's what I recommend:

If your computer comes with a windows disk, insert it in the drive and try booting, if it works, you will be running windows via the CD and if it runs normally, the problem is your current OS install.

Otherwise, you could have had an HDD failure. Either replace your HDD, or buy a new one. If it is a very old LAPTOP, it's best that you buy a new one as laptop parts are expensive + difficult to replace on your own.

good excuse to buy something new bro

[Mando]

Try and use a Windows cd and put it in ur pc, then press F12 or whatever the key might be for you to Pick a starting option, in my case I was able to Pick 4 options you have to Pick option number 1 and start you PC via CD it'll then go to a Windows installation Setup and from
There you should be able to Pick a Option Called system recovery hope u got a Windows cd laying somewhere lol

Seems like some good advice has been given, if none of it works I'll try and give you some myself, given the situation I'm going to extend your response time.

Nothing worked and I cannot insert a disc as it's a notebook

[Cristiano.]

In my opinion there's a PSU problem there, in order to run the computer, just call someone who's working with it or open a thread in a serious forum, as it is not a one.

[KingDavid]

Can you post SS of your laptop settings?.
