Computer got knocked down off of a desk a week or two ago, was fine for a little while afterwards. Had issues with a certain song lagging the computer up, so I reinstalled my sound drivers (this is where things started breaking). Afterward, nothing was fixed, so eventually I found a different version of the song which worked fine. People complained about my mic having too much background static after the driver reinstall, so I decided to do a system restore.
After the system restore, my computer was having issues booting up. The startup was slower than usual, and the ESET splash screen hung on my screen for a while, before crashing with what I found out later was a BSOD 0xF4 STOP error. I attempted to boot up in Safe Mode to restore further back to see if it would fix everything. Safe Mode hangs after a little bit, with the last loaded driver being Mup.sys (not an uncommon issue I guess). After screwing around for an hour or so, it decided to boot up in safe mode perfectly fine for no apparent reason (Can't seem to duplicate that reason). I restored successfully to a point a day before reinstalling my sound drivers, and everything seemed to be going well. The computer booted up fine, and I was browsing on Chrome while patching League of Legends, when the computer had another BSOD, this time a 0x77. After that, the computer will no longer boot properly, back to my original issue (goes through, gets to Windows, splash screen of ESET forever, bsod). Safe Mode still hangs, no idea there, so I'm stuck, as I can't really analyze any logs or dumps without getting into an OS.
The computer has no CD drive, so I can't run any sort of Windows XP installation discs.
Other notes:
CHKDSK constantly trying to run at normal startup.
After the BSOD reboots the computer, it doesn't detect my hard drive anymore and gets me stuck, telling me to reboot and select a proper boot device or something that I don't remember.
Original sound issue: song played for around 40 seconds before lagging/looping. That ruined all of the sound, shortly afterward (Ventrilo crashed).
The song my Winamp shuffled over to was Boston by Augustana.
I'm not expecting much in terms of help through fixes, but I would appreciate it. As of right now there's no capable computer for me to check the hard drive/back up any of my stuff with, so I would be glad if I could get it working normally again.
