    it could be that windows is booting in safe mode. Is there any text on screen written safe mode?

    And have you used any patch or something???

    Is there any way of putting win7 back to default settings, as knowing me, I may have changed something without even knowing it.

    Beta keys had expired some weeks ago.
    That is why you Desktop is pitch black. And your computer will shutdown in every two hour.

    System restore wont work.

    use a RC key to activate. That should fix your problem.
