Hello,my win7 will not boot properly,and the startup rep tool dont manage to fix it, however,it seems to work after the startup tool has failed when i then choose restart it starts up.It takes about 1hour to "fail" and then start up throug restart, so i would love to get this issue fixed.I do however not have a intallation disc.I never got one from the store, so thats not a posibillity.Pls excuse my poor spelling skills, and a happy hollidays to you all. :)
PS:I hope i put this in the correct category,if not,im sorry.And all advice is most wanted.

First try to fix it with a system repair disc, just type that in the start button run box, make a CD, and startup with it in the CD player. If that doesn't work do a repair installation.

Download a 30 trial image of Win 7 SP1 of the same type as you have from Digital River and do a repair installation using your activation key: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

Digital River: http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/

A repair install will save your programs and data, but I would back up anything important anyway.

If your computer runs for an hour and then fails look for heat problems and memory errors. Use this ( http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor/versions-history.html ) and this ( http://www.memtest.org/ ) to check those things once you fix your bootup -- both are free.
