Re: Problem with windows freezing on boot
Corruption might be your current problem, but what caused it. Joe mentioned your anti-virus, and it could be interfering somehow. The easiest thing to do is to separate the hardware from the software. But you have to be proactive and start somewhere.
Some background on your system might help. We have the specs, but did you install as UEFI? What configuration are your hard drives, any logical partitions if UEFI? If you shut it down for a while, does it run better when you reboot? Had you run a system file check while the system was running? Have you tried removing one of the hard drives? Were you getting any messages in the Event Viewer that might indicate a problem?
I will tell you, last year two of the new hard drives I received were bad. They would both install Windows 7 fine, but reboots started to show problems. Replacing them repaired the situation.
But you have a couple of suggestions. So if this was my system, what would you tell me to do in your situation? When the new Crysis comes out, I will probably be moving to a new X79 board and Nvidia card, so I need some help, and you have the experience.....!
