Windows 7 Logon issue and browsers etc scattering images.
Hi Seven Forums,
Recently, I've been having some strange issues with logging into my Windows account. My PC boots up no problem, although a little slower than normal, displays the logon page, but after entering my details and hitting enter, never actually logs in and gets stuck on the Welcome screen. This doesn't always happen, but when it does, it prevents me from using my PC for a few hours. When I am logged in finally, I have another problem: broswers and other programs (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Steam and Origin all have these issues) scatter images and make websites etc very unusable. Screenshots: http://puu.sh/425Cj.jpg http://puu.sh/425DC.jpg I can send more if required.

Solutions I have tried:
Looked through my startup menu on msconfig.exe and unchecked unnecessary programs from starting, to no avail.
I have run System File Checker to check for unwanted modifications made to Windows files and to check for missing/corrupt files, no problems found.
I have tried using the repair function when inserting my Windows disc, no problems found.
I tried Startup Repair, failed to repair an issue that it didn't specify.
Someone on another forum told me this and I wan't entirely sure what it meant, if any of you guys can elaborate: Bad HD geometry/file tables as well as RAM issues can also manifest as boot/login issues.
Please can you guys give me any suggestions on what the problem might be, as this is becoming very annoying by now. I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows if at all possible.
Thanks in advance!
