I had a similarly dumb problem yesterday: All of a sudden the system would freeze in the startup procedure before it initialized the main hard disk. Pressing the reset button would start only in safe mode. Couldn't find a problem there. Same thing repeating during startup several times.

I finally disconnected everything but screen and keyboard and an old Windows mouse and there it was again starting as if nothing had happened. Turns out it was the driver of the scannner ...... reinstalled it and everything's back to normal. Windumb!

next time hit F8 several times just after pushing the start-button, and with the arrows you should be able to choose something like "open last functioning configuration" or something, that has saved me from turning completely crazy after I had some trouble a few months ago. It seems by doing that Windows boots up in a mode it still "remembers" has been working alright. When you do your next re-boot, everything should from the on work alright again... Windoof, ha ha!
