I tried various restore points and they don't help. I can start it up
in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking. When I had it up in safe
mode, I started looking through my devices in control panel, but no
obvious problems jumped out at me.
Does this sound like some piece of hardware went bad? If so, any tips
for figuring out which one so that I can try disabling it?
Thanks for any help.
