Compaq laptop freezes before the login screen

When I turn on the laptop, it seems okay, until it shows the Windows Error Recovery. It asks which option I want to choose
-Launch Startup Repair- or -Start Windows Normally-
And if I pick either one, it looks like it's going to go to the login screen, but it's stops loading with just the background of the login screen.

I've tried removing the battery and running it w/ the power cord.

It uses Windows 7 if that helps at all.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
