Was playing a video game yesterday and the game suddenly turned off. My computer also began shutting itself off. All of the programs shut down and when it was shutting off it even ran a windows update on its own. I have only had my brand new computer for about 3 days and everything was working fine before this. I downloaded games (WoW, Left 4 Dead) and software for my wireless adapter (Linksys).
Now when I turn my computer on it says "reboot and select proper boot device..." I put in my Vista CD and the CD starts to load. I get to a screen that gives me the option to "Install Now" or "Repair your computer". I choose "Repair..". Next screen says "Select an operating system to repair and click Next. Nore:This feature cannot repair operating sysems earlier than Windows Vista." Below that there are no operating systems (or anything else) listed. Then it says If you do not see your operating system listed, click Load Drivers to load drivers for your hard disks. I don't click Load Drivers because I dont know what that means. I click Next. Then get more options: "Startup repair, system restore, windows complete PC restore, widnows memory diagnostic tool. and command prompt." I click Startup repair and it says a bunch of stuff... main thing i think it mentions is
Test performed:
Name: Disk failure diagnosis
Result: Completed successfully. Error code = 0 x 0
then it says
Root cause found:
The partition table does not have a valid System Partition.
Repair action: Partition table repair
Result: Completed Successfully. Error code = 0x0
When I restart my computer I still get the same error messages.
