Can you launch event viewer and check for system problems? Look for anything that's failing and retrying forever.
I will try to launch event viewer once I get home. How do I use the recovery console? And, I do think it's a blocked driver, more than likely my video driver.

Is the "services" program in the Device Manager? If so, I can't access it.


BTW, thanks for all the suggestions, guys.
