Recently been having issues with a black screen before the Log-in phase of the OS, it clears the 'Starting Windows' screen with ease but once it comes to actually logging in a black screen with only the cursor showing of which it is responsive (can move around the screen) then just hangs there for a few seconds sometimes up to 30~ish seconds on some days.

A some very rare occassions I will be met with this screen of which I can just click off and log-in as normal - despite this today I came across an issue of my audio service not launching with the error 'audio service not running error 1068'.

System Specs:
Windows 7 Home Prem. SP1
i5 3570k @ 3.4Ghz
GTX 970
8GB RAM
1TB WD Caviar Black
Asus P8Z77-V LX

Any help would be much appreciated.

~Cheers

I would boot from the Windows 7 DVD, and try to repair Windows.

Alternatively, your hard drive may be in the early stages of failing. and the only real, long term fix for this is to buy another hard drive, and move everything over to it before it completely fails. Run CheckDisk on your boot drive, chck the box to allow it to automatically fix errors and if you get more than a couple of bad sectors during that, the hard drive is failing.

Alright thank you, will have to give it a go when I have time at the weekend - if required and I have the original install disc would I be able to just reinstall windows via the 'Custom' option when prompted? Not too knowledgeable on the whole reinstalling, as I've already used the product key once and wondered if I could reinstall as normal despite this?

Fortunately, I've already recovered most of the data that is worth saving before this even happened and have been slowly updating this from time to time just in-case it does decide to shit itself. Will have a proper look in my drive as I've said before on the weekend most probably.

The product key will continue to be good as long as the system continues to have the same motherboard.

As far as reinstalling Windows, unless you have all of the discs and files needed to install all of the programs you have installed. The reason is that reinstakling Windows also recreates the registry. And nearly every program writes some info into the registry that needs to be there in order for the programs to run.

Sometimes we do reach the point where we do have to reinastall, but that choice will end up costing you hours and hours getting everything up and running again.

Reinstalled Windows yesterday and spent most of the day getting the Windows updates installed etc... Most of the stuff I had backupped previously fortunately as the computer just failed to boot all together, going into the blackscreen with no response for around 5-10mins. Not too fussed was planning on reinstalling eventually just not this soon - shame will have to do this all again once I get the money for an SSD.
