Blue screen appears at start up boot screen and restarts again

Hi may I know what operating system you have on your laptop? If may be due to RAM or maybe with RAID or BIOS. Reinstall your operating system it will fix your bluescreen error.

Which OS do you have? Have you tried booting to safe mode?. Restart the computer. Immediately after the BIOS post ends, start tapping the F8 key repeatedly. when Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select safe mode and see whether it boots completely without blue screen(BSOD)

Hi,

To restore your Dell computer to it's original factory settings, here's how:

To use PC Restore:

1. Turn on the computer.
   
   

During the boot process, a blue bar with www.dell.com appears at the top of the screen.

1. Immediately upon seeing the blue bar, press .
   
   

If you do not press in time, let the computer finish starting, and then restart the computer again.
NOTICE: If you do not want to proceed with PC Restore, click Reboot in the following step.

1. On the next screen that appears, click Restore.
   
   
2. On the next screen, click Confirm.
   
   

The restore process takes approximately 6-10 minutes to complete.

1. When prompted, click Finish to reboot the computer.
   
   

NOTE: Do not manually shut down the computer. Click Finish and let the computer completely reboot.

1. When prompted, click Yes.
   
   

The computer restarts. Because the computer is restored to its original operating state, the screens that appear, such as the End User License Agreement, are the same ones that appeared the first time the computer was turned on.

1. Click Next.
   
   

The System Restore screen appears and the computer restarts.
After the computer restarts, click OK.

Thanks and have a good one.

Safe Boot options loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');

• Safe Mode (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal): This option uses a minimal set of device drivers and services to start Windows.
• Safe Mode with Networking (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Network): This option uses a minimal set of device drivers and services to start Windows together with the drivers that you must have to load networking.
• Safe Mode with Command Prompt (SAFEBOOT_OPTION=Minimal(AlternateShell)): This option is the same as Safe mode, except that Cmd.exe starts instead of Windows Explorer.
• Enable VGA Mode: This option starts Windows in 640 x 480 mode by using the current video driver (not Vga.sys). This mode is useful if the display is configured for a setting that the monitor cannot display.

To solve this will require more information from you. The Blue screen is Windows way of telling you that it has a driver issue with a basic component, usually your video card. Did you recently make any hardware changes? If so please let me know what was changed.

When windows first boots, you can repeatedly press the F8 key until you see a menu giving you choices of windows booting. You need to select Safe Mode. Safe mode should allow you to at least boot without a blue screen. The blue screen could also be cause by a virus or other software.

Microsoft has a description of Safe mode here;
