Windows 7 Professional 64-BIT Logs in, but almost frozen.
Alright, I'm a PC technician and I've never had a problem like this before to where I have found no way to solve it. Also, my PC is dual booted with XP and Windows 7 in case of this kind of situation and Windows XP still works fine so it's not a Hardware error.
Okay, so yesterday I was updating my blog and going through my pictures, and I left my PC for about an hour because I noticed my PC was being slow due to an update for Windows Media Center, well, when I came back, it was being a bit slow and my network had cutout as we've been having network outages, and when I clicked on the Explorer window for Pictures, it all started freezing, so with not even HDD activity, I had to hard reset it, so I brought it back up and it said it updated successfully and had to install another update so I restarted it again so it could finish as it told me to restart, and when it came back up and I logged into Windows 7, it took forever to get to the desktop and when it finally did, the taskbar was completely frozen, so I left it all night and when I came back to it this morning, it said in the bottom right corner "This Copy of Windows 7 is not Genuine" but I assure you, it's genuine, I still have my receipt as I bought it through Microsoft's College website and burned to a DVD.
Now, I restarted it and brought Windows 7 up in repair mode and ran Startup Repair but it found nothing, looked at System Restore but it found no restore points, but I know I had a few restores, but they were gone, no where to be found, so I also tried Image recovery as I also saved an image, but it said my saved image was gone as well, which is possible because I did restore Windows 7 at one point due to a bad Registry clean and so it may have restored to a time before the image was created, but alas, I even brought up CMD and did chkdsk, but it failed with: "Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50." so even chkdsk won't work, and I dread reinstalling Windows 7 as it took almost a full day the first time I installed it.
As for now I'm using my old laptop so I can diagnose my computer and still be online, but I also do all my gaming on my desktop and even my instant messaging as I have WLM setup to my very likings and would be insanely hard to replicate, I've also started Windows 7 at it's last known good configuration and it still would not boot right.
You're all going to laugh now, but here are my Desktop's specs:
CPU: AMD Sempron @ 1.8GHz with 3DNOW MMX
RAM: DDR3 @ 1.5GB
GPU: ATi Radeon HD5570 DDR3 @ 1GB
HDD's: 160GB Seagate Barricuda and 160GB Western Digital Caviar Blue both at 7500RPM
Please, this has been driving me crazy not being able to figure it out, and the weird thing is that it acts like it's a virus, but I'm fairly certain it isn't as I scan my PC daily with Avast and IObit Malware Defender along with Advanced System Care and have never had a problem until now.
Memory Scan showed nothing, booted back up into Safe Mode, just regular old Safe Mode, CTRL+ALT+DEL right when it comes up, start new task through run, type MSCONFIG to try a clean boot and it hangs opening MSCONFIG, still trying to fix the problem and Google has nothing for me, even after hours of searching and hundreds of different search terms. I'm completely stumped, but I won't give up.
Did a clean boot, and still having problems, also used Black Screen fix while barely in Safe Mode, on another note, it doesn't start acting up until RIGHT after I log in, and it takes about 10 minutes for the welcome loading screen to go away.
I can't tell you guys just how ticked off I am, and not to mention virtually no one has had this problem.
Thanks for looking, and if you can think of anything, please, lay it right on me, I'm desperate.
