Black screen with curser after login screen A while ago my computer was acting weird. It would not let me go into this folder in the appdata thingy. So, I decided to restart. It took for ever to shut down, and booted back up and was working fine. That night, I went to turn off my computer but it was on the shutting down screen for about 2 hours, and sese its in my room, I could not sleep without it. So, it being 1 in the morning and me really wanting to go to bed I turned off the power strip.
Today, I went to turn it on, and it went to the login screen. I logged on, and it went to a black screen with the curser. I waited there for a little bit but it still wouldn't work. The weird thing is that the screen saver came up. I have tried safe mode, and everything. Any help?

I don't see that option. All I see is a screen asking me which operating system it I want it to boot up in. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit |

Sorry, you'll need to repeatedly hit F8 during boot. Or if you can type in search, type msconfig, and click msconfig. In the window that opens select the Diagnostic Startup, apply, OK and reboot, this should bring the reapair options on the next boot. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built Desktop By DataTech OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 CPU Intel i5-2550K, Differing ~4.4-4.8GHz No built in GPU Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz 4x4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old, beat-up Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon Rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans, push-pull, @1300 RPM Hard Drives Crucial M4 128GB for OS, 750GB Seagate MomentusXT for data, 500GB Seagate Constellation for storage Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Antivirus Norton Internet Security Browser IE 9, Opera when needed Other Info 4 case fans, LG BluRay-RE, ASUS DVD-RW, Mr. Fusion power generator with flux capacitor, 1.21 gigawatts. |

Now, when I press F8 repeatedly, I get a screen with a blue box(not BSOD) that says Please Select a boot device. Its different from the one I was using before. I have pressed F8 multiple times and it stil does not work. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit |

There is no error, it stops after I login. All I get is the background for the login screen, but on it. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit |

Sorry, That was probably not specific enough.
After I go push system repair, I enter my language, and login. After I click enter for logging in I get no error, nor does it load or anything. All I get is this screen(the background picture to the login screen) and it does nothing. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit |
