It sounds like you're encountering a range of issues after performing a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on your PC. These types of problems can often be related to drivers, software conflicts, or system updates. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve these issues:

Restart Issue after Login Screen:​

  1. Safe Mode Boot:
