Entering password takes me back to Ctrl Alt Delete screen
Hi
I've seen people with similar problems to mine but not quite the same, so apologies if I missed one and this is a repeat.
I have a desktop machine that is connected to my work domain. Most days it works fine, but after the machine has been sitting idle for a couple days and I can't login. I hit Ctrl Alt Delete, then enter my username and password, but then it takes me back to the Ctrl Alt Delete page without any error messages.
I can still access the C drive over the network but I just can't log on. I also tried using Remote Desktop from another machine but had no success.
I think it's hardware related, because I have two identical machines and they are both behaving like this. However, all of the drivers have been updated, including the BIOS, and I've got all the latest Windows updates on there too.
Any advice of what's happening or how to debug this would be appreciated.
Cheers
Nath
