I doubt it is the hard drives as boots fine 7 and 10 if I just use 2x2 gigs ram in same slots, I suspect the computer repair store will blame the hard drive configuration as I admit not ideal as 250g ssd drive with boot and windows 7 C partition, with I partition pointing to partition on 3tb drive (GPT formatted) and windows 10 on another 4tb hard drive formatted mbr so only able to use first 2tb. I am waiting until I need to replace motherboard and cpu before bothering fixing up harddrives as motherboard won't boot from gpt formatting.
Done some stress testing on Linux boot and once I got towards 4tb appeared to have issues with window manager as looked like it crashed, so I am guessing problem is either motherboard or ram.

All the context I have is: - Person wonders why linux can boot and windows cannot - Second person asks first person if windows safemode boots And that seems entirely reasonable to me.
