Windows 7 hanging on startup

[geordiepaul2001]

Hi all,

 

I have an acer aspire 5536 laptop which came preinstalled with windows vista home premium 32 bit.

I purchased the upgrade disc to get windows 7 home premium 32 bit on my system.

All has been working fine for 2 month until last night.

Whilst watching the bbc iplayer my laptop stopped responding and I had to use the power button to shut down.

On starting up the system allows me to choose a boot option, goes to the loading screen and then displays a black screen (though I can see and move the cursor).

The laptop does not progress past this stage whether I use safemode (with or without command prompt), last known good config or windows repair.

 

Any ideas?

Also,

 

I have just tried putting in a windows 7 ultimate disc, this had the same result.

It is likely that a recent driver you installed, or was updated. Or some software put on recently is the reason behind it not starting up properly.

 

Nice one for trying any available setup or recovery options without the disk..

 

As you say the windows setup disk did not do anything, then you need to set the boot priority to the cd/dvd drive in your bios to boot from that as the first priority, and putting the hard drive as the second.

 

Now when you startup you will need to click any button to start the disk up. I am not that farmiliar with this OS, but in the previous ones there are recovery options/windows recovery consosle or somthing. If you can get to a selection of some sort try startup repair.

 

All the best, jakedude :)

On March 1st this exact same question was tacked onto a different thread by you only then you said it happened some time back. Now you say it was just a day ago. You also never replied to the answers. There is also the matter of the removed link in the signature.

 

Does everyone see where I'm going with this?

Startup Repair is a Windows recovery tool that can fix certain system problems during startup. It is one of the recovery tools in the System Recovery Options menu.
