Hi, I have an Asus laptop (g60jx I think..) running windows 7 and windows explorer keeps crashing

I can barely boot it up now, with 9/10 restarts only getting passed 'starting windows' and ending at a black screen

SOMETIMES it will let me log in, but even most times then it will have a 'safe mode' look to it (grey bars, blank background) and I cant get to control panel because its crashing so much

Ive tried a system restore, and the start up repair. Start up repair says error code 0x45d...

I think its something with drivers, but I cant get to them so I cant say for sure..

Hi,

Have you tried loading it in Safe Mode? Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- While the laptop is booting up repeatedly press on F8 until it loads Advanced Boot Options, select Safe Mode and press Enter.
- If it works normal in Safe Mode I would suggest doing a virus/malware scan first. Please do use the link below for tools and guides that would be helpful.

- If these doesn't work last resort would be to reinstall Windows itself.

Thanks :) I tried the safe mode too, and windows still crashes :( I actually reinstalled windows last night before I came on here, and it worked :) I think it was an error in the prior installation of windows :p
