Hi
As many people said before it can be some issue with startups. do the
following steps:
1). When u start computer, start pressing F8 again and again but not too
fast otherwise you will get " some keyboard failure message ". After you get
the advanced boot menu options select LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION and
press enter..let the computer restart automatically. If it resolves the issue
thel its all good.
2). If it dont resolves, again go in same options list and select " Safe
Mode with networking " and press enter, select your user name and when
prompted click on yes. If you are using wireless internet it wont work in
safe mode so better use a vable which is attached to your computer and other
end to modem or router.
3). Now we will do some general cleanup process to make your computer
healthy. Hello
In this case according to me there is some kind of program which is trying
to load up when ur computer starts and this program is responsible for the
problem.
Follow the follwing steps:
1. Click on start-->run-->type in " prefetch " and press enter.
2. Click on edit on top left hand side of the prefetch windows and click on
selct all. Delete all the files in this windows. Dont worry you wont loose
anything from computer . these files are actually making the computer slow.
3. Click on start-->run-->type in "%temp%" and press enter and delete as
many files you can from this windows. You may not be able to delete all the
files because some files are not allowed to delete by windows.
4. Click on start-->run-->type in " cleanmgr " and press enter. select c
drive and try to scan the computer. In the last again click on ok....it will
delete all unnecessary junk files from the computer.
5. Download this software from this link:

6. In this software click on--> analyse ur computer and then click on run
cleaner. it will remove all the junk hidden files and im sure computer should
become little fast.
7. after doing all these steps: we will do the clean boot step:
8. click on start-->run-->msconfig and press enter
9. Select startup tab on the top right and then click on disable all on the
bottom click on apply and restart the computer. when ur computer restarts
click on check box message which will come up and click ok. ur computer
should be fast and restart without any issues.
If these steps resolve issue, let me know ...cheers
