I have a laptop that's only about 2 years old. I recently had some problems with heating and random shut downs. Just a few days ago I got the BSOD with stop error: 0x0000007E - which is associated with registry errors (according to some research I've done). I can't boot in safe mode or anything. No matter what I do I get the BSOD.
I've looked around on some forums and see that many other people have had this problem. I have also read that the best solution is to just reinstall windows. My question is simple, will the BSOD prevent me from reinstalling windows? I don't think I have disk for windows handy, but I'm sure I could just buy one if I need too. But I'm not sure if it would work. Is it possible to just insert the disk and reinstall windows without being blocked by the BSOD?
Thanks in advance
