Windows 7: eMachine EL 1850 hang on start Win7 Ult

I have zero history of this box. I aquired it from a friend.

eMachine EL 1850 Win 7

First power on, asks to start in repair or normal

Starting with repair, hangs on Starting Windows screen. Screen does not full load, 'Starting Windows' is very light in the back ground. No colors over this text.

Power off/Power on same message

Starting with normal startup, it hangs at almost the exact spot, except 'Starting Windows' text is fully visible, and you can see two color dots from the rest of the logo starting to appear.

I've never seen a computer freeze at this point ever.

So starts the battery of tests. Physically, the computer looks OK on the inside. No burn marks, etc.
Delete key takes me to CMOS. Settings are correct. Attempt restarts with USB settings disabled yields same result as before.
F8 takes me to start options. Every single option yields same result:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode w/Networking
Safe Mode w/Command Prompt
Debugging

Like eight different options, no success.

Alt + F10 takes me to a screen with a command line (no prompt) and nothing else

Will not boot from Windows 7 CD. All attempts to do so yield same results as above.

Safe Mode stops loading after Classpnp.sys




I am utterly stumped. We have tried everything we can think of and it all takes us to the same half loaded loading screen. We tried a DOS boot disk, but were unable to see it completely thro as the disk seemed to be made incorrectly.

Any and all advice is GREATLY appreciated. I apologize for the bullet pointness of this post, I typed it on my phone

Could you give us the specs on the computer, MB, CPU, Memory, etc

That of course is straight from the eMachines website

Is it possible to make a Repair CD (not install DVD) on another Windows 7 computer ?

System Repair Disc - Create

Repair CD yielded same results

Hi,

The website details you provided referes to Home Premium....but the title of the thread mentions Ultimate.

Do you know for sure which version of Windows this PC is/was running?

Regards,
Golden

Edited for correctness.

HD was removed, attached to another computer, booted up, and full factory restore was preformed. HD places back I to its own box, and all results are the same.

In addition, another known working HD was attached, and computer refused to boot.

Should this lead me to believe its in the BIOS?

You have a bad disk or damaged ram, also, go back to original OS since the version you have sounds non legit.
