Can't do anything after startup

[Ranimar]

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit on a computer that I built about a month ago. This is my first build and I'm not too experienced yet. My problem is that I can't do anything after I log into my desktop. Nothing would happen when I try clicking so I can't even shut off my computer without using reset or the power button. This problem would be gone after I restart but it would occur another time when I start up again. 

 

This error didn't occur during the first two weeks. I've already tried running memtest and it didn't find any errors. 

 

Here is a video that I took of the problem (Turn up volume and you can hear me clicking) :

Specs :

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core

Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

Sandisk Ultra Plus 256GB 2.5" SSD

Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB DirectCU II

EVGA 750W ATX12V / EPS12V

These commands you need to enter in a Admin prompt (Right mouse click on start button, Command Prompt (admin))

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealthDism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealthDism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealthsfc /scannow

Each line is a new command, and you need to use them in order. Some might take a while.

 

Basically what these will do is refresh, verify and repair your windows component store. (If the second command tells you there is no problem, you do not have to use the third one.)

The last command verifies your system files against the store and fixes any corrupt system files.

 

If that doesn't work, it's time to go deeper.

I just did the scans and it didn't find any errors.

That video was really entertaining. 10/10

bummer.. as mentioned,  maybe you could try a using the windows repair disk and attempt to enter safe mode.  if you get there maybe you could do a system restore to an earlier time..

Just had the same problem again. I tried using avast! but it didn't find any viruses

What startup programs do you have installed? Afterburner? Or anything that allows you to overclock?

Yes, I do have Afterburner installed but it doesn't start on startup

[Ranimar]

[Ranimar]

AVS Video editors site is sketchy as hell, and that auto clicker is like 99.999999% a trojan.

You also need to update your GPU Drivers, so remove auto clicker and avs video editor with Revo Uninstaller and then update your drivers.

Boot the safe mode and disable all your start up etc. Just seams like Explore.exe is freezing and crashing instantly and won't restart it self 

[Ranimar]

I'll check if these solutions work but I won't know until the problem happens again.

[Ranimar]

Today it happened again and I had to restart my PC about 10 times for it to start up right. I went into save mode and I wasn't getting the problem but I wasn't able to do a virus scan with avast! Is there a good scanner out there that might be worth using? Is there any other way to fix this problem?

You have antivirus correct?

[Ranimar]

i had a problem like this on windows 7 months ago. it would boot up and freeze like that but if i restarted and hit start windows normally it would work fine. I believe it was skype messing it up try uninstalling that and see. 

[mariohead123]

Yes

You probably have a virus and it's hard-wired into your os, I would go with a re-install.
