How to fix Window 7 Freezing on Startup?

Maybe there's an issue with your system RAM. Sometimes, when your computer memory is bad or when a memory slot on the computer motherboard is bad, Window 7 freezing on startup could happen, but this is rare.

Try changing your computer memory or reinstalling the pc memory. After that, restart the pc in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, press Win + R keys to run MSCONFIG and press OK. Here please select the clean boot option via unchecking all the options under Selective Start-up. Finally, press Apply & restart Windows 7 in normal mode.

Solutions to Window 7 Freezing on Startup

Start Windows 7 in Safe Mode and so Restart Windows Normally
Start Windows in Safe Mode, and therefor, restart your computer as was common. Yes, you read that right, start Windows 7 in Safe Mode and so restart your computer without doing anything in Safe Mode.

The reason for doing so is that sometimes Windows updates or something else gets hung up. In this case, a forced restart won't get work. But if you try it from Safe Mode, the miracle happens sometimes.

However, if this does not work, try the following ways.

Do System Repair via Using Windows 7 Installation CD
You can try repairing system with Windows 7 installation CD: press Shift+F10 to bring up the command prompt window. In the command prompt window, run bootrec.exe. This should be helpful.

Parameters for bootrec.exe are:

bootrec /fixmbr: writes a compatible MBR to the Windows 7 system partition.
bootrec /FixBoot: writes a new & compatible boot sector to the Windows 7 system partition.
bootrec /ScanOS: scans all disks for installations that are compatible with Windows 7, and screens the entries that are currently not in the BCD store.
bootrec /RebuildBcd: scans for installations on your hard drive & allows you to select which to add to the BCD.
Or you can also do like this: Insert the Windows installation CD. Then it will load drivers, and therefore the screen should pop up to go on installing Windows. But on the lower-left corner, you can see the option Repair your system. Click that option, and it should fix the issue.
