Boot Up issues....

[Corvo Pendragon]

Hey, back again, all in one day. So, my PC has been in storage for about four months, and I just got it back today. Booted it up, ran CCleaner and ran a scan to clean up some junk I had left on it before we moved. After I did that, i decided to fix my boot up time, I had learnt some tricks from of my colleagues about which programs I can disable upon startup, I even did some research of my own, making sure I did not affect any windows related programs. UNFORTUNATELY after applying changes and following the restart prompt, my PC proceeded to fail to boot. It gave me the BIOS screen, the Boot Sequence, and then flashes a blue screen. After this, it restarts, Bios Screen, Boot Sequence. But this time it says:

 

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. If Windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly. Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem. If power was interrupted during startup, choose Start Windows Normally. 

 

So, if I choose Start Windows Normally, we begin this process again. Bios, Boot, Blue Screen Flash, Restart, Bios, Boot, Windows Error Recovery. I figure either 1, I or CCleaner damaged the darn startup, 2, My physical hard drive got damaged (IDK how that works, just guessing), or 3 I am an idiot and did something I wasn't aware of when I booted it up the first time. 

 

Here's the PC Specs to further help:

 

Intel i7-3820

EVGA GTX 670

WD Caviar Black 2 TB Physical Hard Drive

Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 Motherboard

What were the storage conditions like?

I'm guessing the HDD got damaged during transport.

CCleaner shouldn't do anything with Windows registries.

Forgot my RAM. Corsair Vengence 64 GB.

Go into your BIOS settings and double check that you have not moved the SATA mode from ACHI > IDE or the other way around. This causes what you are experiencing.

Well, the stuff was created and placed in storage in VA beach, so I assume it was warm. I was told that it may have been climate controlled, but this was a government move, they never tell you anything.

Bios currently says that it running in AHCI mode. I don't know if that has been changed or not, I really try to avoid messing with what I don't understand. Should I change them and see?
