elohelomg Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 So, after cleaning up a computer, i decided to defrag the computer with "perfect disk". I've done it before, and this is the first time i've come across this problem.When i restarted the computer, it would freeze at the login screen. I have no idea why, or how.What would be the cause, and how would one go about fixing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ck_kent Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you can get it to start in safe mode, run msconfig and try disabling the startup items then restart to normal mode. If it starts in normal mode, enable one by one your startup items until you isolate what is causing it to freeze.Hope it helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avmad Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Did you do a boot time defrag? That screwed it up for me. I didn't have the skills to fix it, couldn't get into safemode so did a fresh install. Needed one anyway ;) Then I moved to Diskeeper :dance2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
