Hi,
I have a Pavilion DV6 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS. Until recently, it was working fine. Now, most often the computer just freezes at start up. After loding the start up programs, it goes into a busy state. nothing works. I dont remember making any major changes to the software or installing a new software before this slow start up. What should I do now? Will system restore to factory settings set things right? I also have data that I dont wish to loose in a secondary partition. So, if I restore it to factory settings, will I loose that partition?
