If you can start Windows
These tools and methods can help you roll
back your system to an earlier state, and
help ensure your computer has the latest
updates installed.

Undo recent changes using System
Restore
System Restore is the easiest thing to
try first. It can undo recent changes to
your computer's system files that
might have caused the problem.
System Restore doesn't affect your
personal files, such as e‑mail,
documents, or photos. For more
information, see What is System
Restore?
To open System Restore
1. Open System Restore by clicking
the Start button . In the
search box, type System
Restore, and then, in the list of
results, click System Restore.‌
If you're prompted for an
administrator password or
confirmation, type the password
or provide confirmation.
2. Follow the instructions on your
screen.
Use Action Center to check for
solutions to problems
Windows creates a report when
certain hardware or software
problems occur. Action Center can
check whether there's a solution to a
reported problem. For more
information, see How does Action
Center check for problems?
To check for solutions
1. Open Action Center by clicking
the Start button , clicking
Control Panel, and then, under
System and Security, clicking
Review your computer's
status .
2. Click Maintenance.
3. Under Check for solutions to
problem reports, click Check for
solutions. Windows will notify
you if there are any solutions to
problems available for your
computer.
Note
Some problems and solutions can
only be viewed and fixed by an
administrator. Log on using an
administrator account to view
these problems.
Check Windows Update for software
updates
Recent updates from Microsoft might
help fix the problem. Windows Update
helps keep your computer up to date
with the latest system updates and
drivers. You can check Windows
Update manually to help ensure you
have the latest updates to Windows 7
installed. For more information, see
Updates: frequently asked questions.
To check for updates
1. Open Windows Update by
clicking the Start button . In
the search box, type Update,
and then, in the list of results,
click Windows Update.
2. In the left pane, click Check for
updates, and then wait while
Windows looks for the latest
updates for your computer.
3. If you see a message telling you
that updates are available, or
telling you to review updates,
click the message to view and
select the updates.
4. In the list, click an update for
more information. Select the
check boxes for any updates
that you want to install, and
then click OK.
5. Click Install updates.
Read and accept the license
terms, and then click Finish if
the update requires it. If
you're prompted for an
administrator password or
confirmation, type the password
or provide confirmation.
Search for drivers on the
manufacturer's website
If you recently installed a hardware
device, such as a sound card or video
card, an incorrect or improperly
installed device driver might be
causing the problem.
Make sure you have the latest driver
for the device installed. You can
typically find drivers on the device
manufacturer's website. Most drivers
are self-installing—after you download
them, you can usually just double-click
the file to begin the installation. For
more information, see Update drivers:
recommended links.
If a driver isn't self-installing, follow
these steps:
To update a driver
You must be logged on as an
administrator to perform these steps.
1. Open Device Manager by clicking
the Start button , clicking
Control Panel, clicking System
and Security, and then, under
System, clicking Device
Manager. If you're prompted
for an administrator password
or confirmation, type the
password or provide
confirmation.‌
2. In the list of hardware
categories, find the device that
you want to update, and then
double-click the device name.
3. Click the Driver tab, click Update
Driver, and then follow the
instructions. If you're
prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type
the password or provide
confirmation.
Use safe mode to troubleshoot
problems
Safe mode starts Windows in a limited
state. Only the basic files and drivers
necessary to run Windows are started,
which can help you troubleshoot
software problems.
For example, if a program runs as
soon as you start Windows and can't
be shut down, you can start Windows
in safe mode, and then try to uninstall
the program. For more information,
see What is safe mode?
To start your computer in safe mode
1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and
DVDs from your computer, and
then restart your computer.
Click the Start button , click
the arrow next to the Shut
Down button , and
then click Restart.
2. Do one of the following:
If your computer has a
single operating system
installed, press and hold
the F8 key as your
computer restarts. You
need to press F8 before the
Windows logo appears. If
the Windows logo appears,
you'll need to try again by
waiting until the Windows
logon prompt appears, and
then shutting down and
restarting your computer.
If your computer has more
than one operating system,
use the arrow keys to
highlight the operating
system you want to start in
safe mode, and then press
F8.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options
screen, use the arrow keys to
highlight the safe mode option
you want, and then press Enter.
For more information about
options, see Advanced startup
options (including safe mode).
4. Log on to your computer with a
user account that has
administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode,
you'll see the words Safe Mode in the
corners of your screen. To exit safe
mode, restart your computer and let
Windows start normally.
Check your computer for hard disk
and memory errors
Some errors can be caused by
problems with your computer's hard
disk or random access memory (RAM),
rather than problems with Windows
or other software running on your
computer.
Windows 7 includes tools that can
help identify and fix certain hardware-
related errors. Serious errors might
require you to contact the hardware
manufacturer for support. For more
information, see Check a drive for
errors and Diagnosing memory
problems on your computer.
To check for hard disk errors
1. Open Computer by clicking the
Start button , and then
clicking Computer.
2. Right-click the drive that you
want to check, and then click
Properties.
3. Click the Tools tab, and then,
under Error-checking, click
Check now. If you're
prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type
the password or provide
confirmation.
To automatically repair
problems with files and
folders that the scan
detects, select
Automatically fix file
system errors . Otherwise,
the disk check will report
problems but not fix them.
To perform a thorough
check, select Scan for and
attempt recovery of bad
sectors . This scan attempts
to find and repair physical
errors on the drive itself,
and it can take much
longer to complete.
To check for both file
errors and physical errors,
select both Automatically
fix file system errors and
Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors.
4. Click Start.
To check for memory problems
1. Open Memory Diagnostics Tool
by clicking the Start button ,
and then clicking Control Panel.
In the search box, type Memory,
and then click Diagnose your
computer's memory problems.
‌ If you're prompted for an
administrator password or
confirmation, type the password
or provide confirmation.
2. Choose when to run the tool. If
you choose to restart your
computer and run the tool
immediately, make sure that you
save your work and close all of
your running programs. The
Memory Diagnostics Tool will
run automatically when you
restart Windows.
