No, Startup Repair only checks for problems that stop your computer from booting.

You must have done a factory restore that returns the computer to the day it left the factory.

No, got a brand new hard drive. Old one got corrupted somehow.

Something to try and the reason.
When your laptop battery went dead your motherboard battery might of also went dead. This could of changed you Bios. Replace the motherboard battery and set Bios to default and set the correct time and date.

Ran the startup repair, it couldn't find anything wrong. Doing a hardware diagnostic now

Ran the full hardware diagnostic, it didn't find anything. Tried booting normally, froze up again (after Starting Windows screen). Booted into safe mode with networking.

If the computer starts OK in safe mode, that would indicate something wrong when loading the drivers, services or other startup items.

Work through these tutorials.

Running a full malwarebytes scan, it's already found 7 issues. I'll post the results when the scan is done, don't want to nuke any false positives. I'm pretty sure I've done that before...

MBAM found 8 objects. I'm attaching the log in a ZIP.

Hum Bubba you might try these scans as well

SAS usually comes up with a heap of adware stuff like the ones in the MBAM scan (PUP's)

I'm not understanding things. Post #9 new hard and install.
Post #16 and #17 Malwarebytes finds 8 infections. Where did all these infection come from on a new drive and insall? 2 + 2 is not adding up to 4.

I got the new HD a few months back, almost a year. The tech said kaspersky would be enough, so I haven't really used MBAM lately. Anyway, tomorrow I'll start the tedious process of trying every driver at startup to see which one (if any) is acting up.
