Win 7 will not boot fully.
Hi everyone!
I have this problem.
On a Dell Desktop, Athlon II, 6GB, Windows 7 64-bit Home did this.
After about a month of the computer not being used, upon the startup, it will get to the Background screen but will not bring in icons etc.
1. Will boot in safe mode.
2. Tried:
Restores, to various points. No success.
Startup repair. No success.
Msconfig in various (basic etc) configurations. No success - will not boot just the same.
3. Upon running Chkdsk (scheduled upon reboot) there were errors, fixed. No effect.
4. several times, using Hibernation by pressing Power button, and then getting out of it, I got to the screen which is I think the "logoff" screen. It said "user such and such is logged in". It had the user's icon shown. (there is only one user). Upon pressing on the icon the Windows fully booted.
This happened, not reliably (meaning getting to the Logoff screen) about three times.
5. Similarly, after running the hardware diags from Utilities Bootup, when exiting the diags, it booted to the Logoff screen and upon pressing on the icon booted up.
6. I added a second user hoping I could get to the User choice/login screen. It does not get to it.
Ideas?
