i was playing dark souls late at night when i felt sleepy and went to sleep
without quitting the game

but this morning when i checked i found that the laptop has hanged the game screen still at the same point but the sound just showing that the laptop pc hanged

so i just shut it off by pressing power button for 10 sec

now when i start windows get a bsod
after windows startup

tried repair options but i get a black screen which is endless

safe mod gives a bsod after loading drivers screen

any suggestions

i do not wish to install fresh windows so please help
 
Turn off the Laptop, take out the battery, then Press and Hold the Power Button for at least 1 minute then let go.

Insert the Battery again and turn the Laptop on
 


tried it still the same

even startup repair goes up as a black screen endlessly
 


Yes hard drive is seen
Bootloader is normal
But windows show bsod after loading screen
No repair otions seem to work the screen just goes black

Also safe mode is not working

If it helps I have installed motion joy drivers which often gave bsod error during use
 
Might be the cause but they shouldn't load in safe mode. You can try loading a bootable coy of Linux and deleting the directory they installed to.
 


finally got the bsod

unmountable boot volume
