Windows 7 and Envy 14 Issue

My one month old envy 14 has developed an issue within one month of a windows 7 clean install.

How it happened:
>Turn laptop on, check email, use internet explorer (no new software no changes)
>turn off laptop like usual
>turn computer on
>BSOD; bam blue screen cant read it, goes on for 0.0001 seconds (flashes a BSOD and restarts)
>computer restarts
>choice between BSOD loop or windows startup repair
>the very reliable windows startup repair ofcourse.........
>woo 5minute boot time on SSD after startup repair
>explorer.exe crashes and restarts (infinite loop) constantly
>error: Unable to load Jit Compilter: (mscorjit.dll): file may be missing or corrupt. Please check or rerun setup.

symptoms:
-windows restore does not function, deleted all restore points after restore attempt (which also failed)
-My computer is 100% fine according to repair from windows 7 DVD
-explorer.exe crash/restart loop is also in safe mode

and to make everything worse, it is 4:00AM.. so I am going to sleep and wake up tomorrow and get ready for 3-4 hours of a clean install only after only a month of one unless anyone has any suggestions to fix this. Everything works atm except I have to end explorer.exe process in task manager to stop the crash/restart madness and ofcourse the minor problem of not having explorer.exe

 

well, if you have some system restores you can use, you could try the oldest one of those.


otherwise yeah..clean install time

 

Get your data off (Live Linux discs work well combined with external hard drive), then do a clean install.

 

Isn't Windows lovely?

Is there any difference between a windows repair disc and the built-in repair?

Because if there is, I'd suggest you try that first.

 

Yea this definitly ruined my perfect image of the Windows 7 OS. I thought that system restore would get windows out of the deepest hole and trusted it... \

Same repair process on the disc and the built in, no difference.

What I did was connected my external drive, killed explorer.exe process and managed to grabb a few files since last backup. Then clean install so did not lose data but clean isntall pain and waste of time.

On a brighter side though, windows 7 did detect the SSD during installation and modified the OS unlike last time with same SSD.

 

well hey.

at least you didn't break your windows 7 by installing visual basic pro 2005 (which is apparently incompatible with windows 7 to the point of installing mysql server 2005 or something and breaking all network things forever)

..yeah that was fun to figure out 3 days later when I first messed around with the wifi (and got 50% cpu usage forever)

 

LOL must have been a blast

 

yeah. one hell of a blast.


(and of course it happened like 2 weeks after re-installing windows 7 so...yup time to clean install again)

I've finally said "screw it" and just made a backup image of an early install
