If you are unable to install anything and don't current;y have any virus protection- the next thing you could try once you get into safe mode is system restore. Go back to a date that everything was running normal. ONce you do the restore- I highly recommend adding virus/malware protection- such as Avast. (which is a free download and you are able to access from safe mode in the future if need be)

Hello, Beth.
The most common reason is memory. Try reseating (remove and reinsert) the memory, first.
Power off the computer and disconnect all cables. Flip the laptop to the back. Remove the battery. The memory cover has 8 screws. Remove the memory modules at a
25 degree angle and reinsert them by pushing them down firmly by the ends.
If reseating the memory doesn't solve your problem, one module may be bad. So, remove and test each module one at a time.
Hope this helps.

Once you enter the setup and it loads the entire program, then you need to press the R key, which is for repairing the windows installation. This action will take you to the dos mode where further processing will be done. In the dos mode, system will ask you about installation place. Most of the people install their operating system in the C drive, which comes at number 1 option, so you need to press option 1. However, if you have so many partitions or you have installed the operating system then you need to choose the option according to your drive name. Here you need to enter your password as well, but if you have not set any password then you can simply press enter.
*Then there will be a c:\WINDOWS> command in a dos mode where you need to write, "Copy d:\i386\ntldr c:\windows. However, if you have different place of your installed operating system then you will write the address of that drive. This is the whole process and now you can eject the cd and can press exit to restart the system. Now this process will copy the correct NTLDR file from installation disk to your hard drive by making your system in the working condition.
