    Windows crashing and unbootable after performing Diagnostic Startup


    Hey,I need help. My system got unbootable after using Diagnostic startup. It now only goes through boot loader phase and either crashes or gets stuck on another booting phase. During my attemps to fix the system, I may have damaged the COMPONENTS and DRIVERS registry hives after restoring wrong files. I don't have any real backups, so I can't rely on that. I tried command line tools DISM, SFC from Recovery Environment. I can use another computer for following any instructions.I uploaded files for troubleshooting. Registry hives and a memory dumpThank you in advanceWindows troubleshooting

    :)

  3. Recovery to normal startup from diagnostic startup in windows 10

    Hi Dimas,

    There are different factors that can contribute to the issue you're facing that your computer wont boot up to the normal Windows 10 environment after using diagnostic startup. This could be caused by corrupted files or settings that need to be reconfigured.
    As a initial recommendation, kindly refer to the steps below to start the computer in normal mode.

    • Press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.
    • Type msconfig and hit Enter.
    • Click on the General tab.
    • Select the Normal startup option.
    • Click on Apply and Ok.
    • Restart the system and check.

    We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

    Windows crashing and unbootable after performing Diagnostic Startup

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
