freezing, but no BSOD... windows 7 will not boot
I installed Windows 7 a few weeks ago and then installed a video card without any issues. About a week later, I added 1.5 GB RAM and again did not experience any problems. The other day, Windows completely froze; my cursor would not move. Ctrl-alt-delete would not work, so after 5 minutes I shut it off manually on the front of the computer. The next day it booted fine however it did freeze again, so I hit the power switch.
Now if the computer even starts, I get to a page where it tells me that I can either run windows repair or start windows normally. a normal start up does not work. I ran windows repair, and it couldnt fix the problems under the start up menu I am assuming; it did not find any errors in the memory though.
Finally, I took out both the new RAM and video card and it was unsuccessful.
Any suggestions?
