Win 7 freezes at "Starting Windows"

Startup tab is only half of it. Some programs will start without your knowlege and they are detected in msconfig>Services after Hiding MS Services. That's why I typed it out for you to follow.

I see in Services, and there are:
- ASLDR Service
- ATKGFNEX Service
- spmgr
- TOSHIBA Bluetooth Service

Only Bluetooth I have unchecked, others are checked, because I need, and they are not problem.

I will install all programs that I need, and after every I will restart PC, and I will see what is problem.

Please dont trash this thread :)

I think its a hardware issue!

Why do you need those services running exactly?

What hardware tests did you run, and how exactly did you run them?

I checked RAM with Memory Diagnostics Tool and HDD with SeaTools and there havent problems.

I also want to check the HDD with HDD Regenerator for bad sectors, but when I run this program, temperature of HDD increasing to 52, and show me notification for overheating. When I pause scanning with this app, temperature goes to 45.

Now PC works fine. I will install all programs that I need, and after every installed, I will restart my PC, so when I have this problem, I will know what is wrong :)

Install Speedfan and also monitor CPU temps to make sure they don't go above recommended temps for your CPU model. You can google these limits.

I'd test the RAM with Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool Cd
for 5-6 passes or overnight, while watching temps.

What are the specific reasons for wanting those 3 other services running at startup?

It's application for animations of some function like Wireless ON/OFF, Volume, Brightness....

And problem isn't that app. As I say, now laptop works great.

The reason I asked is it's always good to see users who get their startup items sorted and actually know what they do and keep them for a reason.

If you want to install the problem program with a Restore Point, maybe even save a Win7 backup image first, then you can study the logs and use the System Resources to try to determine what exactly is causing the problem. Is there any time to spare before it goes bad?
