Windows 7 Stuck on starting Windows Screen

Hi everyone. I was Just trying to boot my computer one day and then it got hung up on the "starting windows" screen. I tried a few things off the top of my head:
Safe mode- Didn't work, got hung up on Class.PNP file. 
Startup Repair- Gets hung up there too, looks a bit like the vista loading screen... 
Start from the last sucessful config- Still nothing. Hangs up at "starting windows" as usual.

The only thing that I have altered in my computer per say, recently, was I downloaded a few videos. 

Need a little insight. Thanks.

Hi RoddieMiller,

As the computer freezes during the startup repair, let’s perform system restore using Windows 7 installation disk.

 

Try booting your system with Windows 7 installation disc.

When it gets to the main setup window, click on Repair from the lower left corner.

 

Select system restore from the System recovery option and check if computer works fine.

It depends, what computer do you have? Is it a Lenovo? The problem my computer was having was due to faulty software that comes custom on this brand of laptop. Otherwise I think startup repair would solve your problem.

I have a dell studio 1747 win 7 ultimate sp1. I cannot get past the loading windows . when choosing win repair it runs and says win cannot repair try system restore, then that fails saying I have no restore points.

I have tried starting in safe mode / networking but it does not load and hangs up on loading windows files and drivers. this all happened after having to shut it down by power button after coming from sleep mode.

I use Norton 360 for security and have noticed it recently makes the pc very hot and it will also not run IE11 without crashing it.

Please help

Thanks Brenda

Hi Brenda,

Check if the Laptop fan is working fine. Move the laptop near to a fan or cool place and check if it freezes.

 

Perform a hard reset and check if it helps.

  • Turn off the computer.
  • Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove all USB devices and media cards.
  • Disconnect the AC power adapter and remove the battery.
  • Press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds.
  • Reconnect the AC power adapter, but do not connect the battery.

If the above does not help, perform startup repair using Windows 7 reinstallation disk.

Refer to the suggestions from this link.

Keep us posted on the status of the issue.
