Many times when I first boot up, or sometimes when I reboot my system it just hangs. No icons appear and I can wait but nothing as the system is frooze. I reboot and usually it is ok though sometimes it take more than one reboot. I have throughly scanned for virus, maleware and my system is clean. I'm sure a format might fix this but I do not want to format. Any help or suggestions/ideas?
