X205-S9349 Vista Services Not Starting.

My Vista has just died on me.

After playing Mass Effect, i turned my laptop off and went to sleep.
When i woke up and turned the laptop on, the laptop took a really long time to get past the login screen after i logged in and then when it did, i noticed it said it couldn't start SENS service so i reseted and then it started giving me blue screens at the vista boot screen and just kept resetting so i made it boot from "last good known configuration" and that is where i am now.

The problem is, some services just don't seem to be running, such as DHCP and SENS and also i cannot connect to the internet, it says that my wireless service is not turned on and asks if i want to turn it on and when i do it says it can't.

I went into administrator tools and took a look in services and the status of DHCP and SENS are starting and they seem to be stuck in that state.

I think the reason it takes so long to get into vista is because the computer is trying to start those 2 services but then it just gives up since they just hang there.

I also cannot start event log viewer from the administrator tools because the eventlog service is not working either, i tried to repair from the vista DVD and it did nothing and i don't have any restore points, silly me.

Can someone please help?

 

Try this link. Its for windows 2000 but it may work for vista:

Also is the "COM and Event system" service running?

 

I don't think they're running, but i don't think that matters anymore. My Vista is completely screwed now, i forgot to back up the registry and entered that registry and i couldn't set a system restore so now my vista looks like classic and isn't functioning as well as before ... any solutions or should i just reinstall?

 

I think a Re-install would be best now, make sure everything is backed up first.

 

Wow, I can see why that headphone jack is the least of your worries right now. It looks like you need to reinstall Vista, and maybe run some diagnostics on your notebook. I find it bizarre that those services just kind of died, because Vista isn't THAT bad. I'm wondering if part of your notebook is flaking out. Maybe the headphone jack was a sign...

It was so f'ed, even system restore wasn't working lol. I reinstalled and it's working fine now, haven't tried the port.

I hate Vista....

New problem, Vista was meant to see that XP was still installed and fix the boot manager itself but now i can't see XP in the boot manager, it just boots into Vista. How do i fix this?
