new pc keeps going to startup repair
I have a new PC - about 2 months old. It works with no problems when it is on. I turn it off at night and often the next morning it gets to the screen before I enter the Windows password (the Vista screen which has the small timer at the bottom of the screen) and it just continues to show the timer and nothing happens. I then have to push the computer power button and restart the computer. This takes me to a Startup Repair utility which usually fixes the problem but sometimes takes a few attempts. If it doesn't work I can often get it going by doing the F8 - last known good configuration option. Does anyone know why it does this i.e. doesn't always get to the password screen? Is it anything to do with shutting down the night before? - all I do is use the start menu. It is very annoying and the shop (major supermarket) said I could send it back but they may charge! - they would just reload Vista and I'd loose all the data.
