Computer hangs upon boot. HELP!
I have a Windows 7 desktop--2TB HDD, 8GB RAM.
For a while now, when I turn the computer on, it hangs on "starting Windows" and will not go any further. If I shut it down (pull the plug) and turn it back on, it will load normally (about every other time), however slowly.
I have used Windows repair, cleared the disk cache, cleared the prefetch and temp files. I checked the memory and it's ok, done system restore, and even a complete restore from recent backups. I've checked for Malware and none exists. I've done these steps many times. Still the problem persists and it's aggravating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
