I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 installed. I've had it for awhile and its been fine.

However, today I've ran into a problem. I was using the computer like normal. Then left it on and went to do some errands. I returned and when I went to use the computer I could not get it to work.

The screen was in sleep mode which is normal but moving the mouse or hitting a key did nothing. So I tried restarting it.

Then when it got to the login screen it froze as soon as I touched a key. So I tried again. Same issue. Each time I try it freezes at some point during the login. Sometimes I can put in my entire password and hit enter. Then it freezes shortly after. I have no idea what the issue is. Restoring to two days ago did nothing. Any help? After that restart in normal mode and it start woring. Please tell what is the problem , I have checked all the hardware is working fine.
