Any suggestion on what to do next?
Things seem to be going from bad to worse. I put in the old drive and when I turned on the computer the screen was black. No cursor or anything. The light indicator for the hard drive seemed to...
When I boot with the Seatool DOS CD The drive runs and the Lenovo screen comes up but after 5 minutes the computer restarts and the process repeats. Without the CD in the drive, I still get windows...
So I should run Seatools for DOS, not for windows?
No, should I do that?
I unplugged the wireless receiver and restarted. Same result. The welcome screen was up for about 3 minutes and then a message box shows saying windows ran into a problem and needs to restart.
Just a wireless keyboard and mouse.

I ran the Macrium Reflect to fix boot problems. It ran and repaired the BCD (the 3 other repair options weren't available). After running I rebooted and I get through the Windows sign-in page but...

I don't have a windows 8 recovery disk. Not sure how to get one. I do have my old hard drive (which is still working) and a SATA-USB connector. Would that help? Also, I have an external backup...
My Lenovo PC suddenly shut down today and when I restarted it I got a BSOD with a 'bad pool header' message. I did eventually restart but soon shut down again with a 'k mode exception not handled'...
I disabled the driver verifier and updated the drivers for the chipset, bluetooth and Altheros network adapter.
I restarted the computer and everything worked normally. Perhaps that solved it!
My computer seems to run fine but whenever I shut it down or restart it the screen goes black for about 10 minutes and then I get a blue screen with a driver power state failure. The system files...
