Could be anything from a bad driver, bad external hardware, or even an
almost full hard disk. An easy thing to try is to disconnect any
external devices including internet/LAN cables and see how it boots up.
In other words, sometimes people drop off pcs to me saying the same
thing but when I start them with just a mouse/monitor connected it boots
up fine. Sometimes there is just no more room on C:
