Please can anyone help...I just cannot get into windows on my Lenovo laptop today. I have tried sys restore 3 times to no avail and start up repair, F8 in safe mode etc. I wasn't provided with recovery disks and am running win 7

    Full model number? 32 bit or 64 bit? What exactly is occurring...or not occurring?
  • G series laptop 4383 I think. Just keeps flashing up blue screen with writing which I don't get to read as so quick then goes onto repair screen but nothing repairs it

    You can try utilising an automated recovery disc in the first instance.
    If that doesn't work for you, we'll work through it manually.

    if you can get into safe mode, you could disable the option to reboot on error. This would keep the blue screen displayed so you can see what it says.

    a Blue screen could indicate a hardware fault, so a software repair may not be possible.

    Blue screens are critical errors, and usually from hardware or drivers
