What to Do If Windows 7 Won’t Boot After a Forced Shutdown

It is reported that forcing a shutdown in Windows 7 (only 32-bit version) can cause your computer can not boot the next time the boot process stops at a black screen. Forcing the closure means that you press the off button physical and although not recommended doing this (turning off the computer using the power menu instead), here is a way to solve this problem and make sure they won’t happen again.

The thing is that Windows 7 will not start due to one of the following reasons: the computer is configured to hibernate or standby when you press the power button, you are using the version in Chinese or Japanese, Korean, and Windows 7 DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is disabled or from the operating system or BIOS.

In any case, to make your computer windows 7 start up again you have to insert an installation DVD for Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 and boot from it. Restart your computer and boot from the hard drive in normal mode. This should do the trick.
