I've recently been having problems with my Windows, the main problem is it hangs on the Starting Windows screen, hard drive activity is noticed and then just stops completely.

now before you tell me to use search forums or google, I've already done that.

Things I've tried:

I've tried going into Startup repair and also safe mode, it loads for a while but then hangs aswell after loading in a background picture, keyboard and mouse and i can just bash buttons and wont respond.

Reset bios/clearing CMOS -no change

Rebooting multiple times - no changes

Removing all the excessive things that are plugged in.

Removed a stick of ram - no change

Any help is appreciated, i need my PC ASAP to finish my final year project :(
 
I took out my secondary hard drive and it booted up, so I tested it by re-inserting which failed to boot again so at first I thought it was my hard drive failing. but it turns out it was the SATA cable, it booted fine with a different cable :confused: so i guess thats it sorted for now. Will find my Win7 DVD and do a repair on it anyway just to make sure. Thanks :D
