I always leave computer turned on so all I have to do is move mouse and I'm in. Yesterday all I got was a black screen with a little message "configuring personal details" then a little message saying the program was not responding. So I pressed the power button which turned off the computer. When I pressed the power button to turn the computer on the fans whirred for 2 secs then stopped. I repeated the process 20 or so times and in the end I managed to get the computer on by rapidly pressing the power button on and off. The computer then ran normally. It's never caused problems on autostart when I come to it in the mornings. I did have to turn it off due to frozen screen a year ago and the same thing happened. I'm worried that next time I won't be so lucky. Does someone know the problem please? It's an HP desktop Pavilion.
