Windows freeze on boot at "Starting Windows" and "LOADED ...\disk.sys"
I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The other day I was afk while listening to loud music from my computer.
Suddenly the speakers began screaming in a high pitch and when I got to my computer it had frozen.
I tried to reboot it, but it simply froze at the Windows loading screen with the floating balls of light and the text: "Starting Windows".
I have also tried booting from the Windows 7 Installation DVD, but it freezes at the loading screen once again.
I then tried to use the Startup Repair Tool, only to find Windows freezing at the loading screen again.
When trying to reboot in safe mode, it freezes again, just after having loaded "disk.sys"
These are the things I have tried so far:
- I have run memory tests using Memtest86.
- I have run hard disk drive tests using SeaTools
- No errors were found.
- I removed the sound card from the MB, with same boot result.
*EDIT*
- I have reset the BIOS
- I booted with 2GB of RAM instead of my standard 4GB
Anyone who can think of other things I should try?
