Trouble turning my laptop on?

Question

Hey, I have a toshiba satellite laptop. Recently, as of monday, I've been having trouble turning it on- I'll press the power button and the windows xp window comes up and shows it's loading, then the screen turns black and will not finish loading. It just stays black. So I have to turn it off and restart it. I'll do this 2-4 times before it actually finishes starting up. today it turned on on the 4th try. I did a virus scan yesterday and it found 6 trojans in the temp folder, all of which were deleted. Could it still be a virus issue? I have McAfee by the way. Thanks,

i guess its problem with the os .... might be the virus which are present might have changed the logon scripts.. so this might be the reason...

you can better format your system and reload the os.. that would be a better choice i could think of..

also before doing that .. check wat are the applications that are present in the start ups..

remove the unwanted once..
