1294450 2012-08-13 09:15:00 Hi all,
My windows 7 home premium PC is experiencing some start up problems. Every once and a while when I'm restarting my computer it stops on the bit just after the company logo and before the windows starting bit, when the white cursor jumps down the page, well in my case it stops there. The cursor repeatedly flashes without making any progress. I have had this problem before and fixed it by simply removing it from the plug and waiting an hour before turning it on again but this is the second time and that's two too many! Here is a picture:

1294454 2012-08-13 09:22:00 OK thanks I will try that when it's working again! What are the things or results that I need to look for in this test? Nikit07 (16761)
1294455 2012-08-13 09:28:00 You may have the same prob Pct had in here. If you've got the Win7 dvd, boot from it, then do a repair Speedy Gonzales (78)
1294456 2012-08-13 09:30:00 I don't have a win7 DVD or a backup :( (urging my dad to get a hard drive so we can make one) Nikit07 (16761)
1294457 2012-08-13 09:31:00 It'll tell you (I think) whether or not you have a RAM error. Haven't used it in a long time so I'm a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty certain it just 'says' if you have a error. Nick G (16709)

You may be able to make a backup to a DVD? I think you can.
