Installed Windows 7. It seems to hang at the start up screen where it says "Windows Starting" and the color windows come up. If I reset the box, it comes up with the error saying that windows shut down incorrectly. Ive tried to do the repair, didnt do anyhing. If I choose to start windows normally, it works.

So if I start windows, it hangs, I restart, choose to start Windows normally and it works. Its the only way to get windows to start normally.

hanging on start up is usually the result of a device issue - (lousy driver, etc). Disconnect all non~essential devices, and see does that change anything.
