Windows 7 crash on login
Hi all, my computer freezes as it logs into windows.
One day, the computer is working fine, next morning, go to turn it on and it does this.
Everything looks all normal, but then the computer will simply freeze, no BSOD, no strange noises, it just stops (like its been frozen in time). The HD light stops and it won't respond to the keyboard at all.
I can boot into safe mode just fine, and from there I have tried using Autoruns and disabling a few things (basically anything thats not from MS) and have done the same through MSCONFIG. In MSCONFIG, if I select "Diagnostic Startup", then it will load into Windows normally, without many functions.
I have tried updating the graphics card driver (from INTELS website) to no avail.
I have taken checked to make sure that the RAM modules are properly inserted (they are) and couldn't spot anything loose inside the computer.
Any help would be much appreciated, and if there is any further information you need............ just ask.
I am loathe to do a clean install without knowing what the cause of this problem is, just so that I know what to do if it happens again in the future without resorting to a clean install.
