Hi there
I'm having an issue with my Dell Inspiron 660 windows 8.1. (2 years old)
Basically last night before I went out I put my PC in sleep mode and must've woke it up accidentally by moving the mouse,
So I hard-powered it off by holding the power button to save time, no problem.
But the next day I switched it on and it said 'start up repair is trying to repair your PC, this could take up to an hour, so I thought what the..? After 20 mins or so I just guessed it wasn't doing anything as my PC wasn't making a sound. So I powered it off again and rebooted, now it just initiates start up repair then a few seconds later a blue screen saying 'Automatic repair couldn't repair your PC' press advanced options to repair your PC or shut down. Log file: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt
I've tried to start it in safe mode but is simply repeats what I put in italics. I've even command prompted it to no initiate start up repair, and it confirms that the command was successful but it tries to repair anyways and goes back to the blue screen.
The last thing on earth I want to have to do is wipe the whole thing which seems to be my last option and doing so would ruin a whole lot of data that is very very important to me.
I presume it could be a serious issue or something very simple..
I've never had this issue before with this PC so I'm really stumped. I've had similar with my old Packard bell, but the problem with that was that I had 2 anti-virus software clashing.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks very much!
