A good sign...

The computer managed to start twice without the need of rapid clicking at 'point x', literally. I performed 2 restarts to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke. In other words, the shutdown command didn't appear this time.

System Configuration Utility appeared, informing me I'd made changes to the way Windows starts but I'm gathering that this is normal.

2 restarts in a row with no hassle. The joy! So I'm guessing the problem lay within one of these processes? I'd still like to, in some way, figure this out with Icrontic's help, if I may.

Here's a list of everything I disabled:
edb0002.bat
NeroCheck.exe - Nero burning ROM update check
QTTask.exe - Quicktime update check
SaiSmart.exe - Gamepad profiler application
jusched.exe - Java update check
winampa.exe - Winamp application
LASTFM~1.exe - Last.fm application

Currently in a good mood. I'll go to work happy now, unlike yesterday...
