All of a sudden, win 7 hangs on start and can't shutdn
My upgrade to windows 7 went so good . . .ran fine for months then I cannot get windows past the "windows starting" screen. I restored and loaded a backup, one of which started but then would not shut down. Also tried several restore points. Safe boot works every time but when booting from msconfig process with all services and startup programs disabled it still will not start. I have tried to reinstall but it hangs on the necessary reboots so then I need to go back to an image dump that now does not start. what else can I disable in msconfig?
This is a hp slimline which was upgraded from vista. So quite basic with no additional cards!
