Start up problems
Hey guys I am having a problem when starting up my computer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system. This problem has been on and off but it occurs like this. What happens is I will boot up my computer and I will get past the welcome screen, my desktop icons load along with my wallpaper but nothing in the lower right hand corner of the screen loads (by where the time is displayed). Then when I go to click an icon on my desktop my computer freezes just stays stuck I can't control alt delete or do anything and my cursor becomes like unusable. Sometimes one icon will load in the lower right hand corner but nothing else and same problem occurs. Recently this has been happening to me a lot more recently so I have not been shutting down my computer I have been sleeping it as I am afraid that it may not start up if I shut it down or restart. I have tried everything I can think of so far and am at a loss. I scanned for malaware, spyware, etc and nothing came up, defragged c drive that didn't help, ran sfc (system file checker) nothing came up, ran the error-checking tools on C drive to automatically fix file system errors and find and recover bad sectors and no errors came up. I feel like it may be a hard drive problem or possible operating system itself but I am not sure. My C drive is pretty fresh and doesn't have much on it because when I used to have XP I got a virus, completely reformatted the C drive and wiped everything and did a clean install of Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated not sure what to do.
Thank you
