Is there a way to boot my pc with this error?

Question

Computer willn't start up. It says that windows didn't start up sucessfully. A recent hardware change might have caused this. It gives me the options of safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configeration, start windows normally. None of which work.

Hey there,

This is a tough one especially if you are not able to boot up in safe mode at all. If you have recently installed new hardware try taking it out and putting in the old hardware to see if it will then boot up. You may need to have Windows reinstalled on your computer but try that first.
