Hi, I think I ran into some serious problems with my OS. Got a boot screen error already about week ago but was able to repair using the win8 recovery screen and previous restore point. Today when I came to PC which should normally run non-stop it was turned off. After turning on I've got the boot BSOD with the big bad smiley and error id from subject, then collecting necessary data to 100% and freeze. Restore point is not available today ;-( Among others this problem could have also HW defect reason because last days I noticed slightly increased CPU usage and hearable fan even in idle states (normally I get CPU usage about 2% and no active cooling, but yesterday the CPU usage was permanently between 6-8%). I am not sure if it relates to my boot issues or not.
Where I can get is either boot troubleshooting screen with all of it's choices and safe mode with networking but without working network. Diagnostic startup using msconfig leads to same BSOD. sfc /scannow doesn't want to run. So it seems most I can use is safe mode but don't know what to use for repair.
As alternate solution I have yesterday's system snapshot from Paragon backup (if it allows run in safe mode) but the backup might possibly contain already partially damaged system state.
As last resort I have win installation DVD to perform more deep system reset from boot recovery screen but don't want to lose my data yet. System repair on top of current state is my priority now.
Thanks in advance for advices.
