Windows 7 pauses on startup

A Installation Disk can also be made to use for Repair. How to: What are my options for obtaining Windows 7 reinstall media? Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Hey there! I understand when you turn on your PC the PC gets stuck at the startup menu and keyboard is not functioning. As you mentioned when you turn on your PC the PC gets stuck at the startup menu and keyboard is not functioning. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.

Press F10 to Save and Exit. Follow the prompts to restart your computer. Also, I would suggest you enable Fast Start-Up on the system and check if it helps. To do this, follow the steps below. Open Control Panel and go to Power Options. Ensure that Turn on Fast Startup is checked. Restart the computer. Refer this article to know more information about using HP support assistant. In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

Then click Yes. Press Enter and wait while System File Checker scans for corrupted files. The System Configuration applet will open, click on the Startup tab. Under the Startup tab, a list of all the programs that are installed on your machine and configured to be run on startup will be listed.

Any program that you don't want it to load anymore on startup, simply uncheck the box beside that program's name. If later on you found your self that you need that program to load on startup, then you will have to check the box beside the application again.

Also note that in single click you can disable all program that are listed inside the System Configuration and load at the startup of your Windows. This is done by clicking on the Disable all button. While Event log only records operations entering a stop mode, or in ability to start. Even tinkering with the Services has not done anything much; turning aero off, removing registries, start-up configurations, policy settings, ect.. However, I've managed to notice when the problem occurs.

At start-up, right before the Action Center Flag has loaded completely Flag Icon on the taskbar, near the clock. During the time before the Action Center flag pops up getting productive on the system is risky, opening up anything that isn't part of Windows, is only when the freeze has occurred. There isn't much anyone can do to get around that problem. Other then not doing much at all until the lil flag has fully loaded. Disabling it doesn't do anything, there isn't any driver that I need or any other system critical problem.

Other then the background services of Windows7. I've almost reloaded XP, because I don't like having to wait for my system to have a flagged clear of being able to start doing, what ever it is I do. So what I have been tinkering with now, is disabling the power management features, inside of the Control Panel's " Power Options ".

Turning off Power Options is what I have been doing recently. I haven't found it freezing yet, but I've had my system stable for a week before. Until it started freezing up at start-up again. I have seen many questions about this, and comments. I will add anything else new I find.

How I resolved this was, just as uncommon, and without even buying new hardware just yet. Before I would switch over my powerbox on.. I would then give it a moment, before turning on the main power button. After the system was energised for ten minutes, after turning it on.

I would then logon to my system and no more freezes. The problem was only noticed inside the BIOs of my system. Even though my Protected Storage service would have shown critical halts, my internal voltage meter was not charging enough, making insufficient power. Resolved by, allowing my system to warm up, simply.

Again thanks for everyone's help.. Sunday, December 13, AM. Here is a list of things to troubleshoot: Faulty memory module.
