Windows 7 Pro 64 update start up problems. Please can you help?
Hi, recently updated my XP to W7
SP 1 is installed as are all current updates.
Installation went fine and once running goes well but more often than not I am having difficulty on start up.
When I power up the start up gets as far as the W7 logo then simply goes no further.
The comp just freezes there untill I switch it off again no matter how long I wait.
When powered up again I have attempted several startup repairs in system recovery options. No faults are found.
After resorting to a system restore the computer will always start up successfully.
I use an external drive and have tried starting up without it connected to see if it makes a difference but no.
I'm starting to get fed up of having to constantly do system restores to get the comp going.
Absolutely any suggestions will be greatfully appreciated indeed!
Many thanks
Chris
