    Well i was on the train using my laptop when it kinda got stuck , tried to restart it from the menu but it just didnt respond so i decided to just shut it off using the power button.

    After booted it on it said something about problem loading stuff from the hdd or Problem with the network , i tried restarting it again and from then on i get this error :
    "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded"
    Got any suggestions , since this problem is really annoying me and i kinda really Need to use my laptop (going back to the army in 2 days..).

    I just had that exact error message on my 4 yo desktop about a month ago. Within 2 weeks the boot HDD was dead.
    I would suspect the HDD has some issues, but I'll let the experts chime in...
