    Computer boots in SAFE mode, but freezes on home if boot normally


    Help!!!
    my HP laptop has stopped working, freezing whenever i try to open any program.
    It however works fine in SAFE mode, but with limited functionality.
    what do i do.
    can it be fixed without disk?

    Welcome to sevenforums.com!

    Please fill in your system specs in your profile.

    System Info - See Your System Specs

    When you say freeze: [all freeze ups are not the same...]

    1) Any error(s) or blue screen of death?

    2) Does the mouse work at that point?

    3) Does the capslock on the keyboard function?

    4) How long did you let it stay frozen?

    Good news is safe mode works, it's likely video card driver needs uninstalled, reinstalled. [or some other critical one like the motherboard chipset driver]

    Thus the needs for your hardware specs.

    Badly fragmented hard drive could freeze for a while loading programs.

    SFC /scannow will check your vital Windows 7 install files, and disk checking is self explanatory. 8)
