When I completely shut down my machine, I have problems starting it again. Sometimes it begins to load up, but then it just stops with the whirlygig in the center of the screen. It responds to nothing, so I have to unplug it to shut it off.
I tried starting in Safe Mode, etc., and the same thing happens; it just freezes up. Then I try it again in Normal mode, and (more slowly than usual) ti comes back and I can get online and to my programs.
I've run Malware Bytes, Spybot, and Iobits System Care 5 and they show no problems. Avast! anti-virus shows no problems, either.
It starts normally when I click on "shut off and turn back on."
Any ideas?
