Computer Freezes on Desktop after startup.
Yeah, this is probably a tale as old as time regarding Windows 7...
And of course this has to start happening when I have to head out on vacation... Tomorrow.
Well, I've been having some problems that started... Actually, it had started doing this before, but yesterday it's been doing this yet again. I was on the computer when the power went out yesterday morning. It seemed to start up fine. But I had to turn it off because I had to go to my grandparents. After I got back, I turned the computer on, and this is when everything starts acting up...
I'll turn the computer on. Welcome screen comes up, followed by the Desktop. However, after a few minutes, things will "Freeze." I can still move the cursor around, but nothing works. Icons. Task manager. Nothing.
I've tried Starting Up in Safe Mode and restarting.
I've tried doing System Restore through Safe Mode.
Now, occasionally this leads to the Windows Welcome Screen, followed by nothing more than a Black Screen.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I've just tried to restart the computer, and now it goes to Black Screen. Cursor is still present.
