I just made a nice discovery. I found out that I had another machine (same
model, but mini tower) sitting here somewhere. I checked, and the problem
does not show there.
So I took the hard drive from the not working one and put it in the
working one and it booted nicely (since hardware is identical). The
problem moved too!
So I have a hard drive, which contains a super fresh copy of Windows 7
which does not work, and another hard drive with an older Windows 7
installation which does work.
This confirm what I said before: the problem comes from a software installed
on the not working computer, not from the hardware. It is likely a
difference in some driver.
Any tips or question what to compare or test?
First do an image of the working installation so that you can come back
later to it after testing !
Then on the working machine do a windows update, and an update of evreything
you can think off and check if it becomes a not working installation. If it
does, then you have to find out exactly which update break the operation.
MsInfo32 could be an help to comprae both computers. The "running tasks"
list gives the version number of each module. You can see if they are the
same or not.
