Computer hangs at Welcome screen after entering password
Hello to the forum. I am having recurring problem with one tower in my network. Upon boot, the system gives me the login screen, I enter P/W, and the little blue circle greets me. So far, I have solved this by restarting with the reset key, telling the PC to start normally,and re entering my P/W.
I have also used system restore to reset the system to an earlier time, and seemingly, this works. I have also ran the Win 7 repair disc, but there has been nothing found on three separate attempts.
I have gotten around this issue by putting my PC asleep when I leave for any time, but I do not leave it on at night. The following is an event that showed up, and I do not know what it means.
