    Hello

    so my vista partition on my computer stopped working a few days ago, I'd had it on a to long so it was getting hot so i decided to turn it off for a while. and ever since it just blue screens as soon as the loading bar comes up the error is 0x0000007b(etc etc) and when running in safemode it crashes upon loading CI.dll I've replaced this dll with another that works and it still crashes. any help?

    Thanks

    Run memtest, chkdisk, etc. Perhaps it's a hardware fault.

    You said in your earlier post you can boot into safe mode, and then you get the corrupt CI.dll error.
