I have been using my computer for at least 6 months now, and have never run into the problem I ran into today.
This morning when I woke up, I unplugged everything from the back of my computer, flipped off the power switch (it was already off but I didn't want it starting on me), and proceeded to clean out the computer's insides with a can of duster.
After all this was done, and everything was plugged in and ready to go, I turned on my computer and it wouldn't boot in 64-bit.
Before I continue, it is good to know that my computer has a partitioned hard drive, and has options on boot-up to start in both 64 and 32 bit (Windows 7). My family primarily uses 32, while I use 64.
Anyway, I booted it up and chose 64. It went to the Loading Screen (the one with the windows logo) and after a few seconds of that, flashed a blue screen for a millisecond and then restarted. There are a few problems with this:
1) It doesn't even give me enough time to see what the error message is
2) I checked the BIOS and the boot order is correct
3) 64-bit was working fine yesterday, and I didn't download any malicious files.
4) I already tried Windows repair twice and it said that the problem could not be fixed
I could just access my important files from 32-bit, copy them, and reinstall 64-bit, but if possible I would rather take an easier way out (one that preferably does not involve me copying tons of files.)
Any help at all would be great. Thanks.
