Hello and welcome to just answer!

please restart the computer and start tapping F8 key as soon as you restart/start it
tap until you get a menu
select SAFE MODE from it and press enter key. tell me the result then
k
it said system is loading files then it went to a blue screen after 10 secs saying a problem has been detected windows has to shut down to prevent further damage.
can you tell me the error code that is displayed on the blue screen?
is there anyway to pause the blue screen it only lasts about 4 seconds
and i have no idea what an error code looks like
there will be a hexadecimal code
like 0x0000342
i just need that code
0.000000F4
i dont know if thats the right amount of 0s
ok
please give me a minute
do you have data on the hard disk which you want to save?
no i just bought the laptop like 3 days ago
ive put nothing on it
i started to download world of warcraft but thats it

Asus Preload wizard
asks me what language i want to recover
use english
it gives me three options: 1. recover windows to first partition only. 2. recover windows to entire HD 3. Recover windows to entire HD with two partitions
you can go for option 3 as it will create two partitions for you
