Hi all,

I've just started having boot problems with Vista. I've had no problems
in the past, but earlier this evening it would restart itself while
loading Vista (the green bar loading stage). I used the Startup Repair
option from the Vista install disc, and the log shows it successfully
repaired a corrupted system volume (exact wording may have been
different). Now it boots as far as loading a black screen and the mouse
cursor, but doesn't get to the Aurora (blue-Vista-Windows-logo-loading
thing).

I have tried subsequent Startup Repairs, CHKDSKs, Memory Diagnostic
checks, all with no errors to report. Unfortunately, I disabled System
Restore a while back... Something I now regret doing! At least I know
what I'll be doing as soon as I get it running again!

My system is an ASUS M2N-E motherboard, AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+, Corsair
2x1GB XMS2 RAM, Sapphire ATi Radeon 3850... And so on and so forth. I'm
running Vista Ultimate 32bit as well.

Thanks in advance!
- Noddy
