Fully updated Win 7 SP1 will not boot after shutdown
I have reinstalled Win 7 Home Prem 64 3 times in the last 3 days because after everything is updated and I use the computer for 10 hours, if I shut it down, it will not boot back up. I either get a constant Welcome screen or a blinking underscore (which is what I have this time). Also system repair or system restore never work. I am at my wits end as to why this keeps happening. Below is all my specs and 95% (it may have varied from installation to installation, but theses were all on the last instance) of the programs I've installed. Each instance also had SP1 installed and all drivers up to date.
Specs:
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
Memory: 4 x Corsair 4GB 1333Mhz
Hard Drive: Crucial M4 SSD 256GB
(I also have 3 other HDD but they are only used for data, no instances of Windows are on them)
Video Cards: 2 x AMD Radeon HD 6900 in crossfire
Programs:
Steam (2-3 games installed)
LibreOffice
AVG Free antivirus (scans clean)
VLC video player
uTorrent
AMD video card controller program (forget it's exact name)
Malware Bytes (scans clean)
CCleaner (scans clean)
I am looking for ANYTHING that might explain this issue, or any tools/tricks that might be able to help me figure out why this keeps happening. Also, at this point I CANNOT use any Win 7 or system restore disks (receive a "This disk is not compatible with this version of windows" error). But if someone can give me some advice on what to look for once I install it again.
Thanks
