When you will start your computer with enable boot logging feature, a log file will be created to identify the drivers and services that is creating the problem during startup process.  The name of this file is ntbootlog.txt and located in windows root directory (%SYSTEMROOT%, normally in C drive). You can search this file with the name of  "ntbootlog.txt" in C drive. Follow the example of ntbootlog.txt in windows XP.
