    I just installed NFS Most Wanted and it seemed to mess it all up. I am getting BSODs after BSODs. What should I do? I tried getting through Safe Mode and even that failed! A BSOD just pops out of nowhere. Please help me. It is urgent.

    The only other way is by inserting the OS install disk and doing a recovery. Or you could connect your hard drive to another computer and run scan disk over it.

    did you try *last known good configuration*?
    or try booting from vista dvd / select repair option / select restore options

    that is only if you haven't reinstall your os already.
