Hi all, another forum I posted in required I use a template, so I'll just do that here as well to make it easier for you all. Thanks in advance!
Problem description: After I logged in, I opened firefox and surfed the NET for a few minutes before everything locked up. I couldn't right click anything, couldn't ctrl + alt + del. After rebooting, it is now at the point where it locks up immediately after logging in.
Attempted fixes: Before this happened, I had checked the event log because it was hanging when trying to log in the time before. I saw a couple ATAPI errors in there. I haven't tried going into safe mode yet; I was planning on doing that when I got home, but I figured I'd try and do some research while at work.
Recent changes: My hard drive is the most recent change (week ago). My motherboard and video card were replaced as well about a month ago. This issue was not occuring when I was running vista with the new mobo and video card, and old HD. So I'm not sure if this is related to the Hard drive or Windows 7, or something else.
