How long did you leave it for, after applying service packs and updates it could take some time to get to logon screen while inuse files are updated.

as i said it reboots gos 2 bios then a blank screen and the hdd light dose nothing it like it hangs and the only way 2 get it going again is to instal again ive just reinstaled win 7 i know if i let it update again it will hang everythings fine untill i let the updates instal

i know what you've done i have encountered this problem myself b4
when u install a fresh windows do u select every update avalible and download the lot then restart? if so dont only select afew updates at a time say all the security then reboot then select all the definition updates and reboot and so on

hope this helps
