Hi,

Yesterday I restarted my laptop (Lenovo W530) and I i had a blue screen (but not the BSOD) with menu "Your PC ran into a problem..." and then my laptop restart by itself, after that I saw the Troubleshoot Menu. My issue is that I can't start Windows in Safe Mode. I haven't update firmware for SSD since in the Internet websites wrote to do it for working better and faster. Before this "critical" restart I installed Samsung's Magician and I didn't see any info that I had to do update or something. I know that the easiest solution is to setup Windows but I don't want do that.

Well if you cant start windows in safe mode you will have to resort to using the recovery disk (usb flash drive) or Repair Disk (dvd) you made.
If you never made them then you will have to borrow someones. You will need the same bit level as yours (ie - 64bits) but version (home, pro, ultimate,...) makes nor difference.
If you cant get one of those then you will have to restore from your backups or worse yet, contact the manufacturer of your pc for restore disks if this is an OEM like Dell, HP, Lenovo...
