Title: Help with PC
Post by: Alfreddo. on November 03, 2013, 07:22:07 am: Greetings,

A few days ago when I started my computer it got stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen. I had to force power off and reboot. Using 'system repair' it finally went to the desktop. But EVERY TIME I turn the computer on this happens. Should I just format my computer?

I don't know if the problem is with the PC or Windows..

I'm seeking for help.
Thanks

If that does not work you'll have to consider it to be a hardware issues too. In that case, you could try opening it up yourself and taking a look to see if there are any visibly damaged or loose components (I don't recommend doing that unless you know what you are doing though). If by opening it up you still can't fix the problem, then I'd say you should probably get the hardware and the software checked by a professional.

You could try system restore to the point, where it did not exist yet.

Make sure your computer is completely updated, your drivers are up-to-date, and that you have security software running on your system.

Open up Event Viewer and look for System logs then try to find what happened at the time the PC didn't turn on. Any critical errors you get, copy and paste 'em here.

You didn't install any new software or hardware (no matter how small or insignificant you might think). No new USB devices (or any USB devices at all?)?
