Did you press F2 during the Samsung logo and then press F9 to reset the BIOS parameters after the update?

how can I redo the bios that needs a working windows and since the bios update that doesn't work
You already did it, installing what is effectively a new OS and pushing the update. Problem is, since its the same version, the program might be skipping the update.
Since windows starts to boot, you might try running it in safe mode (F8 at startup) and see if it lets you get in. At that point you can hopefully set it to not reboot on BSOD and then you'll get a more useful error message.

reinstalling windows 7 seems to have gone past the start problem

this is usually caused by the bios resetting the hdd parameters i.e. from AHCI to compatible or vice versa, change the Sata driver parameters and it should boot fine.
>>I can not look at the dump << sure you can
- 2 methods : boot from a live CD (knoppix) : ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V6.7.0CD-2011-08-01-EN.iso Knoppix
or hook the disk to a working pc, and copy the dmp file

I rebuilt my laptop and now the video driver loads that was why I flashed it to get the proper nvidia driver installed so it can go to sleep as it couldn't with vga
ASKER
no after vista has updated the bios that wouldn't work the update to the bios must have changed the hdd part of the bios as vista and windows 7 did the same thing starting windows and then bsod when the windows logo started (red pixel)
is that usual bios changing hdd methods

yes but all the options for ahci I tried to no avail
can you post the dmp file plse? it probably has more info on what happened
ASKER
no its working fine now why do you need the dmp?
oh sorry i thought you still were fighting with it : "yes but all the options for ahci I tried to no avail"
ASKER
so is it common for a bios update to mess with hdd parameters as that's how its seems to have worked

Not sure how you did you BIOS update the first time, but besides running it through windows, most manufacturers will allow BIOS updates via a bootable USB or CD image that your can use to flash your BIOS.
