I have recently been experiencing big problems booting my computer usually the day after an update. This is becoming more and more inconvenient as I cannot find out why I should have this problem. 
I switch my computer on generally first thing in the morning and where it took only a few minutes to be up and running, I am having to experiment by taking out usb plugs etc. and sometimes all the plugs except for the monitor and 'master' plug. The modem is working and appears to be connecting to the internet. :mad:
You can see that I am not exactly technically minded and when the computer does decide to spring into life I don't know what I have done to make this happen.
Could someone with a lot more knowledge than me try to help.
Many thanks.
