Windows doesn't always boot up

[Lethagized]

On a regular basis my pc won't boot up. It posts then goes to load windows but the widows animated logo doesn't show but the words microsoft are there on the black screen. After a reset it boots every time. Sometimes it boots fine, others it requires a reset.

Windows 7 64bit

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Funny you should mention that because i was messing with the ram a few weeks ago. The computer kept freezing and getting bsod. I swaped the ram around and blew the dust out and it worked ok again except for this boot problem i have.

Thanks for the reply bud. I told you this was an awesome forum didn't i. No matter what the question regarding computers, you'll get hundreds of replies within hours of you asking it. Mind you, that's to be expected on a computer forum right? Forum needs to be renamed generaldiscussion.co.uk

Shhh.... here's the equation for receiving help over here:

question + bad advice = geek rage ^ 10

where, geek rage = advice * (mock + criticize)

I can definitely tell you're doing an electronics course

I guarantee your problem will be fixed by replacing the ATI card. It's definitely an ATI issue and an NVidia equivalent would be a 100%, sure fire fix.

You serious or just trolling?
