windows freezing at splash screen

[oceancrayon]

My laptop decided to stop working mysteriously, it will act as though it is loading normally and just stay forever at the splash screen. I've tried System Restore, nothing. I've tried Startup Repair, and it says it can't fix it and gives me this code:

Problem Signature:

Hmm, seems to be a problem with your disk. Try to run Command Prompt from the installation/recovery disk with the command: chkdsk /r

i use my disk, go to 'install', then 'repair my computer', then under the System Recovery Options, click 'command prompt', but it says i can't use it because it's trying to be used on a write protected disc, which i guess is my recovery drive, and it won't let me change directories to drive c:/ to run it on that disc

try this chkdsk C: /r

thank you so much!! it worked... now lets hope it does the trick ::fingers crossed::

Come back if it gives you further problems.

ok, so i ran the chkdsk c: /r, and it found no errors, but the last line read:

'Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50'

so, im assuming since it found nothing, it still wont start properly, and since it didn't log it, i'm gonna stay at the cmd prompt, till i get your directions.

well, decided to try it out and see if it would startup, and still, no reponse, just dead at the 'Starting Windows' splash screen

We are really somewhat in the dark. It could be anything. As a next attempt I would try a Startup Repair: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html

thank you, the 1st time i tried Startup Repair, it basically automatically went to 'windows cannot repair this computer automatically', this time it scanned it for about 10 mins, asked me if I wanted to do a System Repair, then took 15 mins repairing and ended up with the 'windows cannot repair this computer automatically' with these details: (the only difference i see, is that now 'Problem Signature 06' is at 12, instead of the 5 previously)

Hmm, these are the possible causes of your problem - take your pick. I would not know from here where to start:

• Missing or corrupt system files
• Missing, corrupt, or incompatible drivers
• Corrupt boot configuration settings
• Corrupt registry settings
• Corrupt master boot record, partition table, or boot sector
• Improper installation of Windows

If you had done imaging, it would be easy to get you back on track. But without it, you may be facing a reinstall.
