    Installayion stuck at Setup Starting Services


    Hello

    This might be a long post, so kindly bear with me.

    Up until today morning, I was running Windows 10 but it started having the following problem today

    I turned on my pc and it froze right after it passed the Blue windows logo screen. A black screen appeared with no cursor.

    I rebooted the pc (through the reset button) and everytime it got stuck at the black screen and then rebooted on its own. After a few rounds of black screen and reboots, I got the advanced repair options but it couldn't repair anything.

    A very few times that it did manage to go boot and go to the desktop, it froze and didn't let me open any files or folders. Also when I mouse over the files, a black box appears around the icons and the file names appear garbled

    I haven't installed anything lately that might cause this to happen.

    I even tried to reset my pc but it didn't solve the problem, so i decided to clean install Windows 7.

    The copying of files and everything went fine, tge pc restarted, ran a CHKDSK on its own and after that it got stuck in the "Setup is starting services" screen.

    I have used this same Windows 7 CD to install windows several time before, so I know it's not a problem with the Windows CD

    Kindly advise what could be the problem here. FYI, I am running windows on a Crucial MX100 SSD

    Please advise

    Thanks for your response

    I did a format of the SSD and then proceeded with a clean install and it installed fine. However, I am now stuck with another problem ...
