    ok here is a perplexing situation im in
    when i power up the computer  and it gets to the login screen for the admin a box pops up and says a service has failed to start please check the event log for more information.

    Is the exact error message "A service or driver has failed to start"? There are a lot of possible causes. I would look first to whatever you have installed or changed recently.
