Boot problem after switching off or restarting
First of all I'd like to say hello to all of you. This is my first post at this forum.
I've spent couple of days browsing through other threads, but didn't find the case that would be the same as mine.
The problem is that whenever I restart or switch on my Vaio laptop it stops at the black screen with white text saying: "Starting Windows". Normally there should be an animated windows logo over the text, but it's not showing up, and nothing happens for about 15-20 min. After that time the computer restarts on its own and a boot option screen appears, I can choose two options:
- start windows normally or
- fix on startup
If I choose to start normally it again get stucked at "Starting Windows" screen, fix on startup screen takes me to startup repair. After repairing, the system starts normally, and everything is ok until I restart or switch off my computer again. Hibernation works fine.
I'll be grateful for any advice I can get.
