win7 system hangs after start up

I have a homebuilt win7 pc.

It is an intel quad core 2.4 ghz proc (q6600) on a gigabyte ep45 udm3 mainboard, runing 8 g memory.

The problem started a couple of days ago. A few mins after logging in the system would hang, no blue screen. Mouse pointer would move but I couldn't do anything.

In safe mode there were no problems and the event log was mysteriously clear. An overnight with memtest showed no memory errors, and I used western digital extended drive test on the hard drives, no errors.

Recently I did have a few overheating problems that went undetected for several days (my 3 yr old had turned off all my case fans!) but since finding that the system had been fine for a couple of weeks.

Since running these tests the system has stopped booting even into safemode. Any suggestions on what I do next?

I'm thinking it may be time for a new proc. mainboard and memory anyway but I really should get as much out of this as I can and I do need a pc!

The system did have an overclock on it, but turning that off hasn't helped at all.

I guess I should try to test other components, like the graphics card etc? Put them in my only working pc? (Intel core due, 4 gb ram on an asus mainboard, I just dont want to lose both. Though I could swap the processors and graphics cards as a test.

Yours in haste,

By using system restore I got back into safe mode, cleared the logs and restarted there were a host of processors failing and I could get no network (I was in safe mode with networking). The first (earliest) error in the log was an sptd error so I reinstalled from their site.

The system now can not get back into safe mode. Any further advice or is it time to start taking parts out and putting them elsewhere to test? Sounds to me like the os install is gone for certain. But I've no idea what is left hardware wise.

Any advice?

Dom

Try this; boot to safe mode w/networking, download and run CCleaner; https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Do the Clean and Registry portions both. You might have registry errors or a software conflict.
