Usuallly after the Starting Windows dynamic logo appaears, Windows loads driver files.  Freezing on that screen typically indicates a driver issue.  Since it is intermittant, I'd say live with it, and update the drivers as new ones become available.  There could also be file system errors that you have introduced by forced restart.  You should run a chkdsk at next restart and let it fix the errors.  If all else fails reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS.
