Windows 10: I made a change to my msconfig and now I get a blue repair screen.

I play Lord of the Rings Online and there was a problem with the game crashing with the game's 64 bit client so people were investigating the problem. One solution, some people were saying, was to do the following to the msconfig file:

RUN:
MSCONFIG:
BOOT tab
ADVANCED OPTIONS:

The W10 default is for the "maximum memory" box to be left unchecked.

This NEEDS to be checked and the ram entered manually into the box (# of gigs of ram x 1024) for the 64 bit client to not run out of memory and crash to desktop. For some reasons it doesn't respect the default W10 values if that box is unchecked.

No idea why, that's for you engineer folks to discover, I had substantial crash to desktop issues with the 64 bit client until I "fixed" this in the W10 settings. Haven't crashed since, W10 also appears to be allocating more ram to the lotroclient64.exe process but I'm only viewing it through the resource monitor which may or may not be accurate.

Before, when I was using hte unchecked (W10 default) setting for maximum memory it would only allocate about 3.8 gigs of memory, now that I have manually entered a value it's keeping the minimum default at like 4.2 gigs, and scaling up as high as needed, the highest usage I saw was almost 5 gigs with an allocated 5.8 so it's definitely working.



After doing this and setting the maximum memory to 256 I now can no longer boot up my computer. It just goes to a repair screen and the auto repair doesn't work. I can't get to the msconfig file to change it. I don't know what to do without a complete reset and losing all my apps and other programs.

Blue screen and stop code

Hi
Jeferis,

There are a lot of factors for this matter to occur. To isolate the issue, we have some questions for you:

• 
  What activity have you done to
  trigger the NTFS and FAT FILE SYS loop?
  
• 
  were there any error messages?
  
• 
  What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

It is possible that the
Boot
Sequence were corrupted by the previous activity which
triggered the Blue Screen Error and the loop. We recommend that you perform these
suggested troubleshooting
and see if there are any changes:

Startup Repair.


To access the
Startup Repair Screen, turn off the
PC 3-4 times(force shutdown),
while on the Blue screen Error. This will route you to the
Startup repair screen:

Advanced Boot Options > click Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt

and run the following command:

Run SFC Scan:  

SFC
will
scan
and
run
an
automatic repair
to any
corrupted system files
that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

Boot Record:

This will fix the corruptions on
boot records or boot
sequence. To run this command, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following command:  
  
  • 
    Bootrec /fixMBR  
    
  • 
    Bootrec /fixBoot
    
  • 
    Bootrec /rebuildBCD
    

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.
