Windows 7 freeze and boot problems
Hi,
I have my laptop for almost a year now and I'm starting to get more and more problems.
As soon as I upgraded my OS from Vista to Windows 7, it started freezing sometimes. These freezes appeared too be totally random: about once a week, sometimes with only one application running, sometimes with alot, sometimes 10 minutes after startup, sometimes 4 hours after startup etc... It is just running smoothly before these crashes and it does again after.
But since about a month it started getting worse. It freezes almost every day now (sometimes with a weird bluescreen) and sometimes it can't boot (also when it was shut down normally). When this happens it first looks normal with the animated windows 7 logo and then suddenly I get a bluescreen for a fraction of a second and it reboots. Then I'm given two options: to use startup repair or to boot normally. When I choose to boot normally, it fails again. When I choose to use startup repair, it says it can't repair after a while, but when I press cancel after that my laptop can boot again normally (for a few times at least).
I have a lot of restore points but Windows can't seem to use any of them .
Some things that might be related:
I had some problems with viruses lately, which caused some random changes like messing up my Google Chrome settings and deleting my 'open on startup' applications.
I once spillt some tea on my laptop which caused it to crash, but it worked again after leaving it to dry for a few days.
I have no idea what is going on, it appears to be random problems. PLEASE tell me if anyone else has this weird combination of problems or if you have ANY idea how to fix it.
Also I'm new to this forum so please tell me if you need more information.
Thanks in advance.
