The PC connected to my TV is running an AMD x2 on an Asrock MB, and an ATI 2400HD. I had WinXP Pro installed, and the screen where Windows was loading with the logo and the status bar below it would hang while it was fading in (the windows logo screen would be very faint). After about 2 or 3 minutes, it would continue as if nothing happened, load normally and everything would be fine.

I've now installed Windows 7 Pro x64 and it hangs right as 'starting windows' appears, but before the "shining" logo comes on. Again, it hangs for 2 or 3 minutes, then resumes normally.

I haven't made any hardware changes since I bought the computer about 3+ years ago. What can I do to stop it from hanging?
 
I ran the repair utility from the disk, and the problem came up as this:

Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time taken = 942402 ms.
