Computer Freezes upon starting up and reaching desktop
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
About one month ago, my computer began to freeze randomly about once a week whenever its on, or whenever I start up the computer. I divided the process of my computer freezing into 3 separate parts.
1. Everything stops loading. E.g. If I have a website loading, it will try to load but will make no progress. My applications begin freeze when I click on them.
2. My desktop turns white-ish. And everything is frozen. About 10-15 seconds afterwards, a pop up will appear saying something similar to "Microsoft Windows This application has stopped responding" [End Application] [Cancel] Sometimes the pop up is frozen. If I click on [Cancel], the desktop will continue to freeze]. If I click on [End Application], my desktop will be blank, leaving just the wallpaper, then it will be frozen again.
3. I press Ctrl-Alt-Del during part 2, then my screen turns black. 10-15 seconds after turning black, a pop up will say that Ctrl-Alt-Del is not working and if my computer remains unresponsive, I can press ESC to leave this screen or I can hold the power button to turn off my computer. I usually press ESC. When I press ESC, there is a chance my computer will unfreeze shortly afterwards, or it just remains frozen.
I have tried System Restore along with Last Known Good Configuration and the issue is still unsolved.
Now, I just turn my computer to sleep to avoid this problem but it still appears every now and then.
