OK, so I have a custom-built Win7 64-bit computer. Recently, on start-up. I get the PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED BSOD. Then my computer does a system restore and I lose a bit of coding files then I'm all good.

The problem is... even after I do a System Restore, I turn it off and then turn it back on the next morning... I STILL get PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and I have to keep doing what I did the day before.

How do I fix this... please? I can't even boot into safe mode, either with this...

  • I would do sfc /scannow but more information about the drivers loaded is required

This bug check indicates that the initialization of the Microsoft Windows operating system failed.
To work around this issue, start the computer from the disc drive or from the USB drive by using the Windows installation media. Delete the Bootcat.cache file, and then restart the computer.

Note The Bootcat.cache file is located at %SystemRoot%\system32\codeintegrity

Hope this help and please let us know if it helps.

  • Can't I just skip the hassle of making a windows installation media and do system restore. Once I am back ine like normal.. go back there and delete it?
