Crash to bootscreen on startup, startup repair black screen
Upon booting my computer, I'm presented with the option to go into startup repair, or start normally. If I start normally, it loads the logo, but before it gets to the login screen, it crashes to the boot screen. If I select the startup repair option, it shows a loading bar, which completes, but then the screen just goes completely black, no cursor.
I tried to use the disk system repair that Microsoft recommended, but it just shows a blue screen (not a bsod), and just the spinning load cursor. I'm currently writing this from Ubuntu running on livecd from the same computer, running at native resolution (in case it was an issue with the graphics card).
My specs are:
Packard Bell iPower X3.0
Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz × 8
ATI Radeon 5570
6GB DDR RAM
2x 500GB HDD
