I have a dual boot system and am running Elementary OS in one partition and Windows 10 in another. I received an update for the Linux kernel and applied it, but then my computer was not able to boot Elementary nor Windows.

A > grub rescue message appears when I turn on my PC. Then I find for partition with vmlinuz and execute

set prefix=(hd0,msdos7)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal

With this I can see my GRUB menu and try to boot with one of my operating systems

When I try to boot with Linux it shows:

Kill process... Out of memory...

When I try to boot with Windows it stays loading.

I've tried to boot with a Linux Live USB, but the Linux error message is still there.

I've tried to boot with Windows USB and it keeps loading.

I have 8 GB of RAM and 1 TB SATA HDD. I've tried to boot from another HDD in my computer and it works, but I am not able to see my principal HDD. I've extracted the CMOS battery, and it didn't work. What should I do?

What could be the problem? Should I buy a new HDD?

  • I would be inclined to suggest the issue is with your RAM, not your HDD. My reasoning comes from the fact a LiveCD doesn't boot. Run a RAM test.
