Download the following three programmes to your desktop :
 
 
1.  Rufus
 
For 64bit systems
2. Windows 8.1 64bit RC - sent link to you in PM not to be shared your use only
3. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64
 
Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus
 

Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon.
 
Press Start Burn

Then copy FRST to the same USB 
 
 
 
 
 
Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer.  First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB

That's OK; I seem to be able to stay busy elsewhere...  Anyway, run this Fixlist, post the Fixlog.txt file and tell me how your system is running now.  Thanks.


Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.
Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.
