Startup Freezes

Unread postby DanZero » April 4th, 2010, 1:36 pm

For the past month, I have been encountering freezes during Windows Startup that has forced me to enter Safe Mode and perform a System Restore each and every time this freeze occurs. Note that it does NOT happen every time Windows starts up. I did a scan with Spybot S&D with latest defs 3/31 and it came up clean.
