    Window hangs at splash screen

    I tried plugging in a PS2 keyboard and that works. So it seems that all my usb plugs don't work anymore. What could cause this to happen?

    Window hangs at splash screen

    I managed a way to get into the recovery console and try the fixboot command, which solved my problem. So now i can get into windows. But now the new thing is my keyboard or mouse doesn't respond and i have no input devices. I think i'm going to try to salvage what i can and reformat because...

    Window hangs at splash screen

    I wanted to try the Fixboot and Fixmbr commands, but now when i go into the recovery console, it hangs after i choose the hard drive. I'm trying a boot disk i got from bootdisk.com and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It's funny how everything was working perfectly fine and then one day...

    Window hangs at splash screen

    Random Freezes?

    I have AVG, ADaware, Spybot, and MS Antispyware. They've all come up with nothing. I ran Trend-Micro for 10 minutes by my system froze. It didn't come up with anything so i didn't continue the scan. I think it's a hardware problem. I have a 420 Watt power supply. Do power supplies go bad...
