Extremely slow boot up. Help!!! relatively new PC
Sony Vaio notebook PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
The computer boots up and instantly goes to a black screen. After roughly 10 minutes, I have the option to run Startup Recovery or boot windows normally.
Startup Recovery does not help and states that it cannot fix the problem.
If I try to boot Windows normally, it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to start windows. After it starts, the screen resolution is at the lowest setting (appears to be safe mode but it is not). So, I rollback my display driver and re-install. After this, I cannot reach windows anymore.
I also tried the boot up disc but it seems all my recovery options are non-existent. For example, all the System Restore options are gone. I can't return to old settings.
