If you have not tried the first part of this then I suggest that you read it and try that.

but if your still having trouble read on.
so recently i had a computer that did not get fixed by just the general making sure the hard drive was fine. the User turned off the computer during a "long" startup and tried to start the computer up again and started to get a BSoD.
So the first thing I did was the chkdsk to make sure the hard drive was properly written to and that it was not only partially written. when I forced the check it did find some bad sectors and fixed them. and it found quite a bit of bad indexs which was probably contributing to the problem. this never fixed the problem though so i had to go further in and check the actual system files to make sure they where ok.
so I tried to do a
SFC /scannow
though this would not run because windows had something on start up that it was trying to run. so I had to find a way to run it even though there was something blocking the basic sfc /scannow from running. so I did.
sfc /SCANNOW /OFFBOOTDIR=c:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:\windows
this ran perfectly fine and did what it was supposed to do but for some reason did not fix all the problems because it still gave a BSoD when starting up.
but sense the problem most likely was fixed but the start up was trying to start something that did not exist I decided to try the last known good configuration for the start up to get to this you will want to hit F8 when starting up a few times till a black screen with a lot of different options on there shows up.
should look something like this
but after that was done it started up perfectly and after that I just shut it down which took a while to do but the computer started up perfectly after that.
hope this helps you fix your BSoD at start up
your friendly,
