    Sometimes when I boot up my laptop it will stay stuck at the Vista loading screen. I've allowed it to load for 10+ minutes but nothing will happen and it will just stay stuck there. I usually just give it a hard shut down and try again. Most of the time it is able to load and bring me to the Login screen.

    Has anyone experienced this problem or even know of any possible solutions?

    Thanks

    I had that problem once, it turned out I had scratched my drivers disk and the Intel drivers were corrupted but were installed...
    Give that a try...

    i dont have any advice on how to fix the issue... but in situations like this, if i were you I'd get an external, and the next time it lets you into ur account, BACKUP all your important finals... just incase one day it decides to stop passing the loading screen.

    what you need to do is reformat and re-install vista. if this still is happening, then your harddrive is bad, but you can install a new hard unless you want your warenty to do it.

    This happens to me when ever a USB is connected in my laptop, such as my iphone usb cord, but the mouse usb cord does not affect this. I dont know why it does this but that is my problem with the USB cord during start up..

    To answer sohail99's question, yes, the green bars will stay in an endless loop going across the screen.

    When I get home from college on Friday I think I may try the Vista Startup Repair to see if it's one of my boot files that are acting up and see if I can somehow fix it. If that doesn't work then it looks like reformatting may be my only option.

    I had the exact same problem in my desktop system.

    After i checked each and every component, i localized the prob to the RAM!!

    I tried re-seating the ram, the installation worked fine afterwards! :)

    Try re-seating ur ram (+ u can also try booting with one stick of ram at a time)

    and run memtest to check for ram probs(most prolly it is ram(imo :) ))

    :)
