Freeze upon login....

Hello,

Yesterday was the first time i experienced this, and thought maybe it was just a random error or something just wasnt written somewhere or something....

you know- stuff happens, even with computers lol

Then, today i get home and turn the pc on and samething-

*immediately after typing my password, im greeted with a busy icon next to my mouse and then its freezes*

nothing has changed one the pc recently hardware wise, and i cant think of any startup programs recently added that would cause this.....

couldnt really find anything in the eventviewer aside the power being turned off obviously from me resetting it- though maybe i dont know what to look for.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64

thanx

ok, well i started looking and maybe this is the culprit....


i recently rolled back my sound driver (onboard *realtek HD) because my externals stopped working after a recent update- and realized that it completely deleted the realtek driver from the control panel and device manager-however the speakers work.

looking in tuneup utilites under startup programs, it has an entry for realtek as enabled... O.o

disable it?

*BTW it seems to only freeze after being off for prolong periods of time, not after a reset or restart.
