Startup Repair is checking your system for problems... and for the last ten hours!

Apparently, during Windows updates last night, my laptop itself cut because it became overheated.  When I tried to turn it on this morning, it would not load my login screen, giving instead a screen empty and dark.  Now, he goes through the Startup Repair tool, where it says repairs to try with a blue bar moving, below which it says repair disk errors, it can take more than an hour to complete.  The problem is that he has done this for more than ten hours now with no sign of whether or not it works.  The screen shows exactly:

Startup Repair is checknig your system for problems... If problems are found, Startup Repair will fix automatically.  Your computer may restart several times during this process.  No changes will happen to your personal files or information.  This may take several minutes.  Attempt to repair... Repair the disk errors.  It may take more than an hour to complete.

Help, please! My laptop is only a year old and I backed up my files not recently (there are several important to me).  If he finishes by turn on normally? What is happening with it?

Hi Ali,
 
Do you remember the update (S) that caused the problem to occur?
Remove all external devices (i, e printer, USB devices) and check.
 
In the meantime, follow these steps and see if it resolves the problem.
 
Step 1:
 
If you have the Vista installation disc, I would suggest you start in the system recovery options and do a System Restore to the point that your computer was working normally.
 
Step 2:
 
Once your system is restored, manually install the Windows updates to determine which update caused the problem to occur.

  • For the last 24 hours, whenever I try to access the Forums from McAfee site, get message, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."

    I have no trouble access to other sites with the exception of the McAfee site.  I know that the site is running.
