    I have a Sony vaio laptop that has crashed. It runs windows 7 and has a 64 bit processor.

    I've tried

    1.) safe mode
    2.) startup repair
    3.) system restore
    3.) windows memory diagnostic

    None of these worked. I don't have a system recovery image as far as I'm aware and I don't know how a command promote would help.

    It will continuously boot to system repair then say error could not be resolved then it repeats the same process all over.

    Try hitting F10 at start-up (push while it boots). Will get you into Sony's Recovery center and allow you to choose some options.
