Well I was installing an update to a game, but I doubt that was it since no one else who I know had the the same problem, then my computer froze I could ctrl alt del or anything, I could still open windows from my task bar but I couldn't interact with them so I manually shut it down and got this.
You just pressed the power button? Reboot again with f8 "repair your computer". Select "system restore". go back in time prior to having problems.

When I click on system restore it says: 'no restore points have been created on you computer's system drive. To create a restore point open system protector.' When I open the link it says: 'the computer is running in limited diagnostic state. If you use system restore in this limited state you can't undo the restore operation'

Disks are fine. Startup repair thinks it boots fine... actually is booting without problems. Only you cannot logon. No image backups. No restore points.

Do you have a win7 system repair disc or win7 install DVD?
------------------
Does boot to safe mode work? Safe mode with command prompt?

My computer didn't come with any repair disks all pe-installed I guess, also none of the safe modes work

Why you don't have a win7 repair disc? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2083-system-repair-disc-create.html (can be done on another machine)
Win7 install ISO here: Windows 7 Direct Download Links (pick the correct language, version [home premium/professional/ultimate], 32bits/64bits [X86/X64])

Did you disable "system protection" on purpose, so that's why "system restore" doesn't find any restore points? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/330-system-protection-turn-off.html

I can't create a system repair disk as my computer can't boot, I didn't purposely activate system protection, again I can't check as I can't log on and my mac book dosn't have a DVD drive

A win7 install disk has alos the option "repair computer". Actually it runs same code as the win7 repair disc. I told you where to download it. Do it yourself or let someone else do it for you.

BTW: what happens exactly when starting win7 in "safe mode"?

Strange... I expected safe mode to load a lot of drivers. The drivers scroll over the screen. Last one listed is normally CLASSPNP.SYS

IT CAN'T BE EXACTLY THE SAME!

So safe mode showed a lot of drivers scrolling over screen. Last line shown was CLASSPNP.SYS?
After that it did freeze forever (wait 4 minutes)?
