My lappy (my main CUK machine) died the other week. Would not boot into windows. Would boot into safe mode, but would lock up after a while. First thoughts was virus/rootkit. Scanned and nope. Second thoughts was HDD fail. Scanned. Nope. Then I ran msconfig, and removed have the drivers from the boot. Continually doing a binary chop of the drivers until I nailed the offending one. Some TCP helper related job IIRC (SSDP Discovery, I just checked ). Took him out and even though I am still using a custom boot without this driver the machine is ok.
Start > Run > MsConfig
Services Tab.
Untick bottom half. Boot. Booted OK? Retick top half of the half you just unticked and boot again. Etc etc etc. Took a while. Pick an evening with something good on the telly and get a couple of beers in and do it. Not so bad then.
Best of luck.
