My Compaq Presario CQ40, windows 7, hangs in 2 minutes.

[authentic001]

Hello everyone.

Pardon me if my problem sounds little funny.
I have Compaq Presario CQ40, windows 7 laptop.3GB RAM,320 GB Hard Disk.
Since past few days i m facing this problem, whenever i put on my laptop, and when the desktop opens, my laptop hangs in another 1 or 2 minutes. i have tried this around 5-6 times and still there isn't any improvement. i have also tried to set my computer to an earlier restore point, and have done this twice, still no improvement.

Shall i run recovery, i m afraid of data loss.

Can any 1 guide me what could be the cause, and what could be the solution.

In addition to checking for infection, is this the original factory bloatware install which on HP's is the worst in the industry? If so I would follow these steps to Clean Up Factory Bloatware - Windows 7 Forums especially establishing a Clean Boot and checking for System file damage.

If that doesn't solve it and it's not infected, then work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums working up to possibly getting the superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
