Windows Failed To Start Error...Windows restarts comp constantly!
Hi! I'm having a problem with my comp... this wasn't happening several months ago, and now it's doing it quite often. The problem is is that a lot of times when I turn the comp on or do a restart, Windows will tell me that it failed to start or whatever.... which then gives me the options to start normally, last good config, etc...
Anyone know how to figure what's causing this?
I'm using the following apps:
* AVG 7.5 Internet Security (trial version...which I'll uninstall and just just the AVG Antivirus version)
* Window Blinds 5
* APC PowerChute PE
* Creative Volume Control (what the heck is this anyways?)
* nVidia panel
In Task Manager I got the following:
AVGCC.exe
wpCtrl.exe
rundll32.exe (two separate ones)
dhtml.exe
ctfmon.exe
Floater.exe
apcsystray.exe
CTSysVol.exe
CTDVDDET.exe
CTHELPER.exe
svchost.exe (6 separate ones)
wdfmgr.exe
alg.exe
avgamsvr.exe
mainserv.exe
smss.exe
avgupsvc.exe
avgrssvc.exe
csrss.exe
winlogon.exe
services.exe
lsass.exe
avgemc.exe
CTSVCCDA.exe
DTSRVC.exe
nvsvc32.exe
spoolsv.exe
avgfwsrv.exe
What's up with 6 separate svchost.exe processes?? Is that normal? And what the heck are the CT* things in there? Any that can be stopped without problems?
Thanks for any help....
