Did you try going to MSConfig and disabling the startup items and services?
Go to Start, Run, type in "MSCONFIG"
Go to the Services tab, check "Hide All Microsoft Services," then uncheck anything that looks suspicious (or just uncheck everything).
Then go to the Startup tab, and uncheck EVERYTHING, hit Apply, then restart your PC. See if it will go through then.
As usual make sure to back up any extremely important files before doing any of this. Good luck!
