My system has been up and running fine for 2 years. Yesterday after turning on and login the system froze. Restart results in freezing at various stages immediately after typing password and hitting enter. Sometimes desktop comes up, but mouse is frozen, other times no icons appear and mouse is frozen and keyboard doesn't work. I have a Personus firestudio hooked up and system is not recognizing or loading drivers for it, so no audio. I am not a computer expert, but followed the build instructions and got a fully functional system for the last two years. Holding the shift key on booting does not allow system to start in safe mode, nothing happens. Booting with -v doesn't help as I can login. For some reason (I know this is stupid) if I boot with -f (which I cannot find any documentation of it being a real command) system will login, mouse, keyboard, internet all work, but audio (Firestudio firewire rack mount) not connected. If I restart and don't use the -f command then right back to freezing directly after login. Restart with -f and back to working as described above.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Happy to provide any additional details needed as well. Thank you!!
