Question

Answer 1

Possibilities:

1.  Hardware conflict or issue with a device having issues.

2.  Any new hardware or software installed right before this started happening?

3.  Is it getting to the login screen or is it from the logon screen to the desktop?

4.  Can you get into Safe-mode? (reboot and tap the F8 key on the keyboard until the startup menu comes up).  Does it load any faster?

5.  Which version of Windows are you running?

--Will watch for additional details and update then.

Answer 2

Hard drive issue.
